I might be wrong, but I believe we call this system "Capitalism"
That said, I do agree that NIMBYism is a big challenge. Not just for pipelines, but for all sorts of infrastructure - solar farms, wind farms, the transmission lines needed for the energy transition, cell phone towers, development in cities, etc. I don't pretend to know the solution, but it's everywhere and not just midstream companies that see it.
