They are only giving them out to people who are willing to enter a tournament, go to that tournament, and basically participate in the community! This appeals to people who like King of Tokyo, and I, for one applaud the move, and the way they've done it.
And really, if you are able to win one.. and you want to sell one.. why not? I am guessing most people who like the game enough will keep theirs - making this even more rare, when some few people want to sell. Don't forget - Richard Garfield is kind of the MASTER of this sort of promotion. :) And it doesn't seem to have hurt MtG much.

In other words it is for people who have no other life. I would argue there are plenty of people who have lives, and jobs, and families and cannot just fly to conventions to play a game of King of Tokyo. Chess maybe - but King of Tokyo? Seriously?
I would say we ARE active game players. Just because we don't go to tournaments and conventions, we are not ACTIVE? OK. Got it. Guess the definition of active players is those who go to conventions and tournaments. Of course, I bet the consumer base is far bigger in those who don't attend those gatherings.
MtG has so many - an astronomical number of cards, 1 here or 1 there hardly compares. In addition, multiple local game stores hold the tournaments and therefore it is much more accessible to get the promos. Also that one card is literally a drop in the bucket compared to the zillion that are in print. You can hardly build a deck off the 1 card. I don't see the comparison at all.
