Why do people care so much what ships other people have? Isn't this game supposed to be a sandbox? Get on with your own game and let others get on with theirs

Because some people just can't accept that the world doesn't bend to their will and/or that they aren't god.
Good grief! I need a cup of tea.
With more ships locked behind a progress wall, Fdev would sell less ship skins on their store.
Its in Fdevs interest to turn a blind eye to fast progress ranking via exploits and loopholes because....
....Da moneys.

The logic is no different than not qualifying a divemaster with less than 60 logged dives or asking a heavy goods vehicle driver be 21 and have a valid drivers license before getting behind the wheel with an instructor.
"So, fresh out of Space Academy with two hours in a Sidewinder, here's the keys to a 400 ton Anaconda. We foresee nothing, but good things from this arrangement."
It's called common sense.

No, simply fix the broken mission types to make the reward reasonable again. In another thread here, some guy scoffed at a 20 million CG reward as "not being worth it" because he can make the same amount of money in 30 minutes, exploiting said broken mission type.
Are you on drugs? Maybe I should have to take an advanced driving course before I play Dirt Rally because, you know, rally driving is dangerous and we wouldn't want unqualified drivers out on the stage, would we? What about full on military training and a tour of duty for Counter Strike players? Maybe we should stop people entering Evo unless they have a MMA championship under their belt? Repeat after me. It's a video game. It's a video game. It's a video game. It's a video game. It's a video game. It's a video game. It's a video game. It's a video game. It's a video game. It's a video game. Is it sinking in yet?
Such things shouldn't need any further explanation to anyone of any sort of intellect...? But do feel free to let me know if you'd like it explaining further.
Please do explain further.
I'm sure FD specifically stated -
"PLAY YOUR WAY"
Yeah, that would include choosing to get an Anaconda in a day or two.
The Anaconda is a very good ship it offer's alot for many play styles. There currently is no credible reason to put any restriction on it what so ever.
I smell a gr____er.
Have a nice day.

That is, you don't know or cannot explain it.
It's not really a problem from a balance perspective, since balance vs. other players counts for nothing in a game that allows solo mode. It IS a problem from a game design perspective: players can quickly gain one of the best ships in the game, thus shorting to game's progression system, which is probably not desireable. Are you seeing these players in open mode OP? If so, could I bother you for a pmsg of their location?
I think it comes down to a sense of achievement over time invested. It gives the ships a tangible feel of value. It's a real thing that you are proud of because of how much effort you put into getting it.
When people Quince their Conda inside of a week its devalues the ship, the effort and the game play experiance.
Threads like this make me almost tempted to reset my save, earn conda-credits while avoiding combat completely so I'm still harmless, then go looking for him to see if he wants to find out if I'm as harmless as I look... I wouldn't even start it...
But only "almost tempted" - I won't. But still....

Second account maybe....?
Why? So you can go and ROFLSTOMP them?
There's plenty of reasons you could see a novice player in a Anaconda - they could have reached Elite on one platform, then started a new CMDR on another and earned some quick credits from exploring and CG's, or reached Elite in trade and just prefer not to focus on the combat site of things?
Let them have their ships, and if they can't fly it properly then that's their problem, no one elses
