Getting to Perfect level is relatively easy, so a FTP packs only team significantly ramps up the challenge, even if it never leads to a Perfect League championship.

I also have two theme teams that rely on purchases in the AH for the same reason, and by their very nature, theme teams are highly inefficient since they artificially reduce the available player population.

It is a game after all, and there really is no ultimate metric or standard other than the enjoyment you get out of it, regardless of the approach or strategy taken.
I do the same thing at work, but instead I just happen to be wired to think about everything that way haha.

Everyone has fun different ways. Nothing wrong at all with it. But if someone's goal is to build the best team they can in the long run with little money invested, then it's helpful advice to tell them not to spend their points on packs.

I only play with one team so this is the approach that worked best for me. Maybe if I get bored I will pivot into an entire theme.
