One thing I'd like to say really quick: I only turn off items 1% of the time when I play Smash. I'm a scrub who plays for laughs only and I have no interest in playing tournaments.
However, as a person who can understand the difficulty of considering so many random variables, I can say that keeping items off for tournament play is the ONLY way to play when money is involved.
Before an item can be considered legal or illegal for a tournamet, it would have to be extensively tested. That's each item, with each COMBINATION of characters on each stage. The task is far too daunting for me to even fathom. The next Smash would be out before this could even be agreed upon.
In your own home, play by your own rules. When you go somewhere else to play, be ready for a small culture shock when you are asked to play another way. That's not just in Smash, that's life.
