Great post, I can't believe that I am the first one commenting on it after 21 hours! That in itself is not a good sign for Splinterlands or Hive. I really appreciate your realistic and perhaps a bit too pessimistic take on Splinterlands, it keeps my over-optimistic nature more grounded...

One thing I would like to point out is that bots are not allowed in the Frontier mode. Also when you move up to the Bronze 1 league you start earning 2 cards x 3 times per day, so you get up to 6 cards a day... Also, I see people with maxed out cards in Frontier already as you can buy these cards on the market...
