Eh? So basically what you're saying is that because you personally don't find the in-game items to be worth any real value irl, they don't have any real value irl? But the thing is, as long as someone is willing to pay for something with irl money, that something has irl monetary value. And Runescape has had RWTers since the early days, so it's pretty clear that people are willing to pay irl money for the in-game items, and thus they have irl monetary value. > )

The fact is that TH is predatory gambling; it might not be "legal" gambling, as in you "always get something", but if you buy keys, you're still throwing money (either your own real money or someone else's) at a chance to get something specific you want, which makes it gambling. (And it's predatory because Jagex knows there are players addicted to the rewards, yet they're exploiting those players for their money, e.g. by offering the freebie keys here to get them hooked into buying more.)

Since the beginning of TH; daily keys have never been possible to save for another day.

What you probably have done before is stack earned keys (from key tickets, quests, daily challenges...), as those can be stacked for later use (soft cap of 10 and hard cap of 100).
