Extremely well said.

Supply and Demand.
In a way you sort of answered your own question. You only take a few appointments a month and they have to be highly verified. P411 lists about 57 providers (including visiting) in the Columbus area. The majority of those are not newbie friendly. I don't have any numbers on "Johns," but I think it's safe to say they vastly outnumber the 57 providers who are not "BP girls" (not to mention what happens when you remove ladies who require verified references from screened clients).
Money.
As you said, not everyone has the budget.
Worth.
Not everyone thinks it's worth the price. While I don't have this issue based on local rates, I'd never hobby at NY rates ($1,000/h for some ladies) on principle alone. Could I afford it? Sure. But I still wouldn't do it for the same reason I won't pay a guy $80/h to paint a room in my house. I don't care how skilled he is, $80/h to apply paint to a wall is just stupid. I'm not comparing your job to a painter's, I'm merely making the point that, net worth aside, some guys might simply not want to pay your rates on principle.
Fetish.
Some guys are attracted to morbidly obese women. Some are attracted to the elderly. Some want to be puked or shat on. Some want to dress up like a pony and have a woman dressed as a cow ride them CG. Those of us who don't partake in such fetishes always wonder about those who do. Similarly, some guys might be attracted to the extra risk of an unverified BP provider who could be LE or could have an armed boyfriend waiting for his cue to jump out of the bathroom. I find myself on the fence about this since I do have such proclivities. The reason why I've decided to stay away from BP from now on is because I'm averse to the risk of disease which is higher among BP providers. While I'm itching to relive the high-risk days of my youth, I'm not interested in contracting an actual itch, or worse, that requires medication to rid myself of.
Quality.
For some guys it might just be that they're not looking for a quality experience with an upscale provider who specializes in GFE. Perhaps the experience of cheating on an SO, or being intimate with several women is what they're really after. Your services might be better, but that might not be what they're looking for. I've used this analogy before so I'll do it again, but sometimes all a guy wants is a BigMac and fries, not a Fleurburger.
League.
It's a well known fact that not all men have what it takes to approach a woman they consider "out of their league." Your good looks, advertised skills, and confidence could be intimidating to them. For the same reason they'd end up staying late at the bar to approach the lonely woman everyone else wouldn't even look at, these same guys might be hesitant to approach someone like you. This also is a partial answer to your second question ("do you really have the right to keep complaining about the quality of providers?"). Just because they're paying for it, doesn't always mean they're no longer afraid of rejection. I'm not just talking about actual rejection ("I'm sorry, but I don't want to see you . . . ever") I'm talking about the mental rejection. RT's posts give me the impression he feels a sense of superiority to the providers he's paying. I assume this means he doesn't care if she's enjoying him also, or if she's just faking it. Other's are not like that. So they opt for the ladies they consider more approachable.
Domination.
Some guys view sex as an act of domination (again, RT comes to mind). Your advertised persona indicates you're in control of your life. In fact, you're in control of your business by screening. It's harder to objectify a provider such as yourself, than it is to do so with someone who will see anyone, anytime.
ID.
There's one particular provider I'm aware of in the area who seems to be racking up the 8/9s in her reviews here. She seems to have the looks and the skills (she charges more than other BP providers), and none of her reviews indicate she's anything short of what "upscale providers" are. The main difference seems to be that she doesn't screen. So perhaps not everyone is comfortable handing over personal information to a provider. They can afford to play, the want the higher-end experience, they just don't want the provider to know anything about them, not even their real first name.
Those were just a few reasons I could think of off the top of my head. I would also suggest that such topics might be toxic to some of you ladies. It's becoming increasingly obvious that there are some providers here who have an elitist view that is highly unattractive. I'm not pointing fingers to anyone in particular, but on some of these "why BP?" posts there is an air of arrogance in some providers' comments that some of us are looking at as further motivation to stay with the less judgmental BP providers.
