And for the building materials, why don't people want to use dirt for building materials? Because there's other types that are more durable and easier to build than dirt, but to do that they costs more money. And also, to build a house out of dirt is going to need someone with an extreme building and molding skills, and costs money to even hire them. And even after that, the end product is going to be in worse form than building a house out of bricks and concrete. So, to save time and money in the long term, people don't use dirt to build houses.

That is called "substitutes". People can buy other items that fit the same purpose for different ranges of prices and quality, and to fit what they really need, from price to efficiency.

However, for the Daily Brew, there is no substitutes, there is nothing better than what it currently gives you. That saying, it's the only source that gives you such benefits in the game. Imagine it as an economy, you can call it's a monopoly, which means one corporation controls the entire economy, in this case, the Daily Brew. That means, if the Daily Brew is gone, the "economy" will also be gone, which is all the benefits that it gives you at a price of... nothing. And there will be no other substitutes which gives you benefits like the Daily Brew does.

Your argument is invalid, since nothing is free. My point about the Daily Brew being free only include its price. Since, what you need to do to gain the Daily Brew's benefit is to:

1) Log in the game.

2) Click on a button.

3) Wait for the "Brewing" animation.

4) Click on another button and get 20 MP

5) Repeat 1-4 7 times

Honestly, if you can even complain doing this cycle, then you might as well quit the game. It takes more effort playing the game than doing what's stated above. I never said it's a good source of MP and items, I just said: It's better than not having it. Meaning, it takes little to no effort to get easy benefits.

And if you're on the developer's side and thinking: "Well, the Daily Brew is gonna make the devs less money, since no one's going to buy skins anymore!"

That's false. The point of the Daily Brew in the first place is to incentivize people to play the game more. And more playtime = More chance of people buying to support the devs
