If you were my friend and complained about the present AND your complaint was about how some one else got better from me, i would take the present back and tell you to get stuffed! I think this has to be about how people are bought up, stuff to comparasions with DMM stuff the randomness IT IS A FUCKING CHRISTMAS PRESENT !
I'd compare this to a scenario where you have a 50-50 chance of winning $1000 or $10000. (Not a one-to-one comparison, but just go with it.) It doesn't make much sense to have two prizes that definitely have a value gap be equally obtainable. I'd refer back to the Bride Oncidium ticket earlier this year: it made more sense that the better prize (Bride Oncidium, who was a 6*) had a lower chance (20% for her, 80% for all 5* at that point). Plus, it makes it unfair to everyone who got the lesser of the two prizes simply because luck=no. Yes, by themselves, free gift is free, and free is always nice. But when you throw in the possibility that you could've gotten something better, it just feels like they're waving that better gift in our faces and saying "git lucky scrub", and that's what leaves the bad taste in all of this.

As for the comparison to real life, you can't really compare this to real-life Christmas presents. Whoever's getting you presents can get you literally ANYTHING. Unless the gifter is extremely predictable (or you've already seen your present ahead of time for some reason), you don't know what you're going to get. Not to mention that some people will treat different gifts and presents with differing values. Heck, I'll treat getting Pokemon Moon with the same amount of appreciation as I would an Alolan Exeggutor shirt (or any meme shirt). While in FKG, this is a very lottery-based present, you know what you could get/could've gotten, plus, as explained earlier, there's a clear (and not to mention large) value gap between your potential gifts.
