If that were what he was saying, I wouldn't care- in fact, I would agree with
him.
But it's not, and his response to me bears that out.

That's great for them. I really don't have a problem with these guys selling
the sets, especially because they often have hard-to-find parts in them, or
what have you. If Person A sells Person B something, that's fine, I don't
care.
If Person C sells something to Person B, and a large part of that is the fact
that it's based around a design that Person A came up with, I have a problem
with it regardless of whether or not Person A was trying to make a profit on
it.
But if I sit down to build something in my living room, Persons A-C can go #$@!
themselves. None of them get a say in what I build, or how I came upon the
idea of building it.
