Why is there no creativity in the Gwent community?

Genuine question, I've scanned through Reddit and other forums and all I see is constant reference to META's.

Q: How to beat Elf META?
A: Well I use the SY OTB META/I use Frost deck, did you build it correctly?

Q: Sick of NG Mill, what should I do?
A: The new Dwarf META is pretty balanced and plays well against it.

Q: Fed up facing the NR Siege META, how do you beat it?
A: Have you tried the <insert META here>?

I don't get it, I really don't. Is the card pool too small/narrow? Are people in general just so obsessed with winning they'd rather copy a deck than try and create something original? Does the deck builder not offer enough? What is it, guys and girls?

I can't understand why people just copy, copy, copy…then season change, wait two days, copy, copy, copy. I mean if you go shopping, do you have an individual style or do you just want to copy? If you play The Witcher 3 do you just enjoy the game and play it, or do you copy someone else? Do you load up FIFA and copy someone else, or just try and win the way you play? Same with any game, Fortnite, Apex, CoD, etc. It creates such a depressingly limited game and everyone copying is contributing to the problems in the game. If everybody just stopped and tried originality, the game would be infinitely better than it is.

How is winning with a copied deck more important than trying a unique deck? Say someone copies and gets to the ladder, or gets in a tournament – they are going to lose. The people they copy will beat them, over and over, every time. So what's the point? How is there any satisfaction in pulling a META and winning? I. Just. Don't. Get. It.
