What if I didn't exchange any money? What if the token in question does provide value by granting me access to something?

The former isn't really possible right, as you have to pay at minimum gas fees. The latter is extrinsic.

The former is possible on chains where "gas" is a fraction of a fraction of a cent. Even if we're being pedantic there - what, the miners/validators are the scammers in this case?

The latter is not extrinsic at all - it's all in the contracts on the blockchain.
