PG events are always very well run and typically full of outstanding competition. They are also an avenue to find/expose a players ability and, perhaps, potential. Many of the complaints seem to me to be about parents and players unrealistic expectations about ability and what they will get from a PG event. They paid their money, they expect to be drafted or recruited. If you're talented enough to be drafted, that may work. But for most of the kids, PG is just a small part of the path to the next level. Without the other work, it won't get you anywhere, but a lot of parents just don't seem to get that.
