Why did the Guild allow the Atreides to raid the Harkonnen spice stockpile on Giedi Prime?
Been trying to figure this out for a while. Yeah maybe it's technically illegal for the Harkonnen to have stockpiled spice to begin with but I never get the impression the Guild cares about where their spice is coming from considering they're willing to buy from smugglers and directly from the Fremen. And it's not like the Atreides stole the spice or anything, it says in the book that the stockpile was destroyed.
Is it just me or does it make zero sense that the Guild would let the Atreides do this? I get that maybe the Guild are ultimately supposed to be neutral when it comes to inter-House conflict but I can't picture them being so when letting the raid go off is directly against their interests, especially given that they know that Arrakis is going right back to the Harkonnen soon and spice production is going to be disrupted for a while because of all the fighting. And I can't imagine the Guild somehow didn't know that was the target, that stockpile was probably the most valuable thing on Giedi Prime and if the Atreides know about it I'm sure the Guild are also aware of it.
