Yeah that's my understanding how MMT would explain the system as well. I just take issue with that approach.

When you peak behind the curtain and see how an MMT system actually works, it's pretty clear that the whole thing is just for a game and, at best, a benign one.

As long as it isn't hurting anyone, I can see it being plenty useful given what we can do with it even if the system is just a game. As soon as the system starts harming people though, say because they can't access basic goods or live a happy life, simply because of how the game works then it skips right past being an entertaining game and into the realm of being a dangerous, arguably evil, weapon.
