Because it's more than just the content of the bag that matters. If you give a single shit about your waifu why would you spend time effort and money working on getting official merch you might have to hunt years for, hours working on a layout that flatters her, just to throw it in a cheap looking knock off because a little more effort getting the real thing is too much? Because if you're doing the first two, you're naturally not going to be doing the latter. Presentation counts. If your shit looks sloppy I'm going to see it and figure you didn't care enough to give her what she deserves. The otaku who started this shit are at peak performance and thinking it's elitism when it's just fucking standards shows how new you are and how little you care.
