Narrow Travel Agency with ITA-Matrix, why does it not exist?

Hey ho,

similar to how The Narrow Bank, wants to create a very narrow bank that just lets you deposit directly with the Fed, how come no one has ever started a travel agency that all it does is let you past in an ITA matrix itinerary and book it that way? I'm not a pro by any stretch of the imagination, but there sure seem plenty of times when ITA matrix spits out a much cheaper booking and I would be more than happy to split the savings with an agent. I get that maybe the market is not that large, but it also seems like the cost of running such an agency is not that large either?

What am I missing that makes creating such an agency impossible?
