Oh for sure... to each their own. I don't look down or anything on those with lower incomes, in the end it's about having fun. You don't NEED all these expensive accessories to play, they just enhance the experience for those that can.
People use RS stuff all the time. PC's, holsters, rail systems.... etc. Optics are really no different. No one is saying you should go out and buy a $600 RS aimpoint or eotech but even a holosun, bushnell or vortex are really not that expensive.
I personally only use red dots (especially indoors) as I've had laser surgery, my night vision has suffered. That plus the fact that even though I'm right handed I'm actually left eye dominant. Using a red dot with both eyes open off sets those disadvantages that I have. Plus my income allows me to invest a bit more in to the sport so why not? Hell, you should see my RC collection...
