Good for you. You were lucky enough to be in a program that had a firehose of resources (mostly money, but probably also high quality professors). There's only so many flagship programs at any given university. The overwhelming majority of people who get a BA or BS in a given field will not be that lucky. How many students to the top schools in a field graduate? How many do the rest graduate?

You could make this argument about anything in life.
Everyone has good and bad breaks. The mistake is thinking that we can somehow create the same experience for everyone.
The entire American experiment is based on individualism. We have to have some responsibility in our lives.
