Glamours are a tangible benefit. Not looking like garbage and instead looking how I want is a tangible benefit.

Here, lemme give you an example.

I want the Pilgrim's Robe, for vanity. In terms of looks the Pilgrim's Robe is unique. No other robe looks like it. In terms of stats, you have:



These are all roughly equivalent (well, the Warwolf is a bit worse but if you like PVP then sure). Not only that, but while anything ABOVE is fine for stats, nothing else works to replace it for vanity reasons.

If anything I have MORE of a need of it then you do. You have options, I don't. But I digress. The point I made earlier still applies. Lemme bold it so maybe this time it gets through to you. It doesn't matter what you define "need" or "greed" as because the game has done it already and you are unequivocally on the wrong side. What someone does with their gear after they win it is zero of your business and your attempts to reframe what amounts to a very good system so that you always win are laughable.
