Follow the money.
If many of the top tier athletes have to pay out of pocket to tour, that is the main issue. Millions of discs get sold. And maybe the top 10 players can afford gas, food and hotels.
Imo, the manufacturers are more interested in controlling their slice than making profit for anyone else: including their own team members.
This includes putting money into public relations, media, and overall mainstream marketability of the sport.
Then you can address lesser problems like drugs, hooligans, vandalism, idiots etc....
Well after that is where I would add "imperfect disc flight standardization"
