Well.... I've said it in the past, that the goal is basically to get the MAJOR NEW toons from each event, in order to be able to accomplish the next event.
The company creates newer OP toons to be used in future events and already exisisting levels of the game. Just when you think you're gonna dominate in gauntlet because you finally got some LoL's Maxed,..... then you start getting matches w/ Dark Lilith & Lucifer, or Dark Lilith in 3 of the 5 matches.

If one is not staying current, it's easy to fall behind.
They are marketing gamers on their "Fear of Missing Out." They are counting on gamers taking the shortcut and spending money.
I myself spend minimal these days, but have to invest the majority of my time.

As far as team recommendations, the threads "Documenting" dungeons was originally to give gamers who can't afford or are not advanced enough to run those dungeons, a sneak peak at the awesome graphics or insight as to the rewards of playing them.
The "recommendations" are just a suggestion as to how to succeed, since so many are usually looking for the solution. Most of my thread's suggestions I got from different gamers and then made it easier to find for others.

With all the different experience levels, relics, talisman, toons that all the different gamers could possibly have, there's no way anyone could devise a team that everyone could accomplish the event dungeons with, especially Insanity levels.

Ultimately gamers will have to think for themselves, use SoT, etc. to trial and error in order to discover what works for them. That's what the advanced guys do to come up with the "sure thing."
For anyone looking to pop on the forum and just have the ideal team handed to them, needs to remember, people like Deathbat, Stormseye, Azagthor, and myself.... we don't get paid.
It ultimately comes down to being a group effort.

I will say if anyone is struggling, they can request that someone check out their team and make recommendations. I do it in my threads, plus other contributors will do it too.

... and once again.... it's all just a "suggestion." 😁
