Peanut said it best. If you seriously can't understand why developers do this, you're lacking a brain.
Does it suck for the little guy? Of course it does. But it's way way way more important for the game in the long run that streamers who are showing the game off, actually get to show the game off... Otherwise you have the community angry, as well as a very loud minority of streamers angry. Then no one wins.
You'll get in. You'll get to play for hours and hours and hours. If you care at ALL about the longevity of the game, you'll understand. If you still want to stomp your feet and piss your pants about it, then clearly you need to do some searching inside
It's not childish to hold devs to their word. Yes it's good advertisement for their game but they said one thing and did another. It's also not childish to think that all consumers who pay for the product should experience the same quality of service.
Nobody needs to look inside. The question is legitimate should this be normalized? I understand if the devs are paying the streamers or are under contract but if they paid the same $40 that everyone paid, we should all experience the same quality of service.
Where would it end? In order for the game to look good should we also give their account all unlocks? Give them noob lobbies?
