"You have to make do with what you're willing to pay for", runs DIRECTLY counter to adding to the 'challenge'. Dynamics, sure, even if they're ones I don't like. Collectability, sure. But I care first and foremost about gameplay. I LOVE drafts which limit which cards you can use, they are my favorite type of play (far more than constructed).
I'm not against businesses making money, either, but I do have limits on how much I'll spend. I spent thousands upon thousands on MtG as a child. I haven't spent a dime on them other than a couple offline drafts with friends in the past ~decade.
I understand your position as well.
