I really like your attitude!
I bought Pokemon cards back in the day and played them as a matter of course. There was never any ulterior motive to earn money with them. I just wanted to have fun.
Unfortunately, I can't just switch to this mode in Splinterlands. It's absurd, but I still try to enjoy the game first and foremost.
To open a pack every now and then and have fun with my Guild members.
And of course you shouldn't forget that Splinterlands generates contacts and other things.
Monetarily speaking, it may be a loss, but it brings a lot of experience and skills.
And that makes it a gain!
