Sure, you could look for a different gym that doesn't have that limit just like you could look for a different game. Why sign up to one knowing they have those restrictions if using the other machines is so abhorrent to you?

I know this is not a perfect analogy, but the base one of the gym wasn't perfect to begin with. I hope you can see my point with this: Just because you pay for a service from the company, doesn't mean you get to dictate the terms of the service. The game was designed to be played with a balance between crafting/gathering and questing. If you don't like the service offered, find another service.
