Why does gil need to have value?

why does money in the real world need to have value. im no economist, but if money exists in an economy and it doesnt do anything, then it essentially becomes a usless commodity that players feels doesnt serve a purpose.
according to some studies i found by ACTUAL economists, real money has its value because it has a level of trust in it, that we trust that with this token we can have the item we desire immediately, or even items we couldnt normally have at all. luxury and lifestyle improvements. i think its the same in games. people want money to feel valuable, to have this trust, and when it doesnt. they feel neglected or deprived. in games. currency servers important roles in locking the players put of certian content, making you NEEED to play the game, just like irl money locks you out of living on hawaii in a 5* appartment
