>Also, if you decommoditize things you can't trade them for other things. The idea is that this trade-off would be better in some way than the current situation. Commoditization necessarily optimizes for exchange-value over use-value. Therefore it can be included in the circuit of capital (M-C-M') and the incentive for its trade is no higher goal than augmenting money-capital. Now you need to summon the invisible hand to say that somehow, in a roundabout way, being a commodity is actually better.
