This is very interesting but I would worry if this proves to be an important part of the solution, why would Expedia not release a sandbox that returns validation if agent use becomes valuable for them.

This is a really important question.
I definitely think as companies begin optimizing for an "Agent first" economy, they will start figuring out how to optimize their sites for agent traffic.
They definitely could do this themselves, but I imagine there will be some engineering work/expertise around building RL envs that they might want to partner with an external provider to do it.
ALSO the value of Westworld isn't any standalone env but many stringed together for long trajectory workflows. That is why they may be inclined to work with another provider to do it.
Those are just our thoughts though, will see how the market plays out
