This points out two major troubling trends: consuming nature, and corporate capture.

The U.S. Park Service is treating nature as a resource that must be consumed like other products or services. Access to nature is no longer an inalienable right, but must be purchased and consumed.

The second issue is corporate capture of the U.S. government. It is not just regulatory capture in the case of the CDC, but also capture of intellectual property in the form of creating computer systems. By controlling the computer system the government uses, corporations can 'capture' the government, and in this case create their own fees.
