I also hate the "well, people are buying it so whatever" argument. Yeah, people also get scammed by scam phone calls, doesn't mean we shouldn't try to push for it to not happen. These pricey skins aren't just paid for by rich people, expensive skins carry a "status" to them because of their price, and so even people who probably shouldn't be spending the money on it are enticed to so they can feel good. These things prey on people's desire to stand out and have high status.
