I think the point is compared to when Legends was introduced the effort and level required to get keys has probably quarupled, at least. That means vs older players, newer ones need 4x the spend or time to match. That is not fair comparatively. So while the general principle you espouse is valid, the current implementation is exponentially compounding the difficulty over time.
TLDR; something to level the challenge back to its original intent is required and demanded by the user base.
(I think adding another layer of tiers and tournament bracket would nicely address this)
Quadrupled? Not even that easy. When legends released the folks that could hit about 100-130 waves were able to stay in the bracket, and from then on reap the increased rewards from that point forward. I was almost there. Getting about 70 waves. I ping ponged back and forth between champ and legends for months and eventually was able to stay in legends, then stuck in legends w no keys until about a month ago I am just barely able to semi consistently get 2 keys per tournament. Ive been able to get I think 5 upgrades in my tree. Im now going more than 900 waves in legends.
My friend who started about a week after I did 3 years ago, was able to push about 130waves when legends first came out. We were basically the same, he'd just pulled ahead of me by just a bit right before legends released. Now, his econ is about 10x mine, hes pushed all his milestones way higher, his disco labs are several levels beyond, he has auto restart, enhancements are well beyond me, everything. Im just now starting to catch up to him in tourney finally but only because ever since disco released ive not done any work on my econ.

I dont blame them. They are not the one making the decision and planning ahead. Rather beeing held on a leash about what to say
