This is a tricky topic – the biggest concern with RMT (in my opinion) is the money transaction portion of it, because it introduces a ton of risk for real-world scamming, encourages botting in the game, and involves a ton of liability all around. Streamers/well-known players can get advantages in the form of gifts, and this is ultimately a form of emergent gameplay tied to their popularity. While I understand it can feel unfair, it is a lot less risky and damaging than RMT since it doesn’t involve unregulated cash transactions, and we don’t want to restrict who can and can’t trade because of who they are so long as they are using the game systems within their designed scope.
