If a Mall is rushed with 25 000 people in a day, you can be assured they will want to close the doors until the mob dissipates.

The store owners, generally in favour of large crowds, are likely to agree because they don't want to be mobbed either.

None of the companies involved here want their stocks to go on crazy volatile ride, it benefits almost nobody.

People are conspiratorial about evil bankers pulling strings to stop this when basically everyone wants it to stop.

Why do these people stampeding through the market thing that they are helping? It's very likely that the companies on the receiving end of this volatility want nothing to do with it.
