Doesn't matter. Light only travels so fast, and we've only been here, what, 10,000 years? Nobody further than 10,000 light years away could have possibly found us yet. And a 10,000 light year sphere is well less than 4% of the galaxy.
Our galaxy has a diameter of about 100,000 light years and a thickness of 1,000 light years. A 10,000 light years sphere would be about 10% of the galaxy, wouldn't it? Correct me if I'm wrong.
I think, you're right, but nobody is forcing you to buy anything in SL. You can still participate in the "social culture" without ever spending any money. I haven't. And if you need something, you can simply create it yourself. If I need money to upload a file, I simply sit in a camping chair.
I never bought anything, but created my own skins, textures, objects. I never bought land, because I'm not interested in making money (renting land for a shop) or "settle down" (build a house). I never understood the concept to own a "physical location", a house, in a world which you only experience when you're logged on and roam that world. Why would anyone log on and stay in a virtual home and not visit the many places?
There have to be some people owning land to show their ideas, so other can look at them and experience them. It's like the Web. Most part of the "surfers" just roam the many pages, but a few create their own to share their ideas. No one creates a webpage and locks everyone else out. Well, they surely exist, but they don't matter.
