The market does. New stuff needs to be sold every year, and needs to be some amount faster to find a buyer. The cost of development is minimized while still reaching that goal, limiting the gain to no more than necessary.

The forward wings produce forward-high to rear-low airflow, while the rear wing produces a rear-high to forward-low flow. Those join in the middle to a top-down flow.

The solution is easy: Create a small company to own the property. That company can be sold much more easily than the property itself. It also avoids the tax on propery purchase.

Use case: Please cook my food for 12 minutes at 600W to be ready to eat at 12:30. An alternative could be to let the user do the math, and change it to "Please start cooking in 3h27min for 12min at 600W".
