Consider that the whole thing is about making money for team owners any argument of fairness goes right out the window.
Suppose that you own a team and you make money regardless of how well your team does. You can elect to have your crappy team play and probably lose or in the name of profit you can let the winning team play and make more money .Well, that's a no brainer..
Despite how we might feel about things the league is not some democracy where fans get to vote on who plays who. Team owners are not democratically elected officials sent to league offices to represent our best interest. They're ruthless business people out to make as much money as possible for themselves and screw the fans who blindly follow their respective teams..
In some fantasy world where teams are owned and operated based on wants and needs of the people of the geographical area yeah, you would elect someone who truly represents your interests, but it's actually based on what's good for (in our case) Mike Brown and family's financial bottom line and if that means that the Squeelers get all the best players, all the rules tilted in their favor and scheduling that maximizes the dollars coming into the Brown family coffers guess who gets to celebrate the winning team? Hint: It ain't us..
