Why do people keep thinking Vacuo Using No Uniforms = Vacuo Students Being Poor?

Given the way the scene where we were shown all the academies in V2 was played, it gave me the impression than it would be more like "Vacuo doesn't use uniforms, because it highly values individuality".

Same for the scene of the faunus watching the tournament from the trailer:

- that trailer didn't look precarious at all. (Actually, looking at it closer, I don't see wheels, so it might not even be a trailer).

- that TV equipment didn't look low line at all.

- just because a country has a wild and harsh ecosystem it doesn't mean it's poor. Look at motherf***ing Australia: lethal snakes everywhere, birds try to reap your eyes out in mating season, birds break into your house to destroy your electronics, one half is a desert and the other has super storms (including fire tornadoes), and you can't set foot in the sea without either being eaten by a shark or getting stung or bitten by something poisonous... It's a first world country.
