The article is discussing listing and brokering together, but they should be considered separately. You are conflating the two. MRED is not a broker. You can list privately, but then that precludes you from advertising on Zillow.
The alternative analogy you are offering works if Google Products MRED and Amazon is Zillow, but you seem to think the reverse is true. And neither is the true seller, which is Compass, so your analogy betrays a gross misunderstanding of the situation.
