Because its not and there are modes where you play with random cards, no matter how long a person has played they have no advantage in cards over you.
GAME TIL YOU DIE!!!!
But fans of the genre have long accepted this so no harm, no foul.

Obviously if you spend money you will get cards faster but you can compete in this game without spending cash. Elder Scrolls Legends has a good f2p model and they are pretty generous with currency rewards to buy packs.
P2W mechanics are a legalized form a cheating? LOL Buying packs of cards in a card game is not cheating.
Yeah I am not on the top of the leaderboards, but I don't care about that. Just stick to ranked battles, so you are matched against players with the same deckpower (most of the time). Casual mode is a coin flip, many high ranked players take out their new decks out there to test them, before going into ranked with them.
Or you can do arena, then everyone is equal, sort of. Of course experience on how to use cards and what cards to pick in draft matters a lot.
Another tip, don't try to be a completionist and collect all the cards. Focus on just a few decks and dust/soul trap/liquify other cards so you can craft the cards you need for your deck. Also, animated cards are a very good way to get dust/soul gems to craft new cards with as the animated cards are worth a lot more and they are not extra powerful compared to the non animated version.
So, unless you want to be full blown competitive for top 100 or want a full animated deck, there is no need to spend any money on the game.
