What even is a gacha veteran though?

It's just someone who has played a lot of them and can generally tell when something is bullshit or not. For example if a game is constantly opening new servers that's a major red flag that people new to the genre wouldn't necessarily know about.

And there's no personality in that. "Here's my list. Here's the scraps the game gave me to goad me into spending. I am continuing to play and spread word of this kind of predatory game, but I'm not spending which means I'm ultimately getting one over on the devs."
Even if you get something good, you can only take so much credit for it. Sure you grinded for the materials but it came down to luck.
It's almost like speedrunners joylessly and repeatedly throwing themselves at the same game, only able to hope that this'll be the run where Drill Man just walks side to side instead of tunnelling underground three times in a row.

That's definitely the philosophy of some of them (like Diablo) but not all of them. Most games I'd say let you do everything with crap units/gear. The big rewards come from the leaderboards which you were never going to place in if you weren't a whale or extreme no lifer anyway. And communities do like to show off doing challenges with horrible units/gear. Like beating some superboss using only 1 units.

The community is the game. Without it you're going to be left with a mediocre game that might have a good story at best. So the communities try to be as welcoming as possible. A healthy and happy community means a better game.
