I hadn't thought of it quite like this, but
maybe it coincides with my viewpoint...

The way I see it, those who choose to
organize production are at an advantage
compared to those who did not organize.

The latecomer's disadvantage is easily
measured by the amount the organized
can charge *above* the real Costs of
some Good or Service.  In other words,
Profit measures Payer dependence or
disadvantage compared to those who
already have co-ownership.

We can 'balance' this difference by
allowing the latecomer to pay Profit,
but then treat that overpayment as an
Investment FROM THAT PAYER.

This is the way I would concur with your
assertion that we "lose part of our
ownership".  I would say Profit does
not belong to the already organized
(does not belong to the current owners),
but actually belongs to the Payer - but
not as a Price cut - as an Investment in
more Means of Production needed to
move that Payer toward co-ownership
needed to avoid ever again paying Profit.
