Comparisons using 1g to 1 item are stupid and don't make any sense
People are expecting that RNG will always favour them and grant them 3 items in the first 3 rounds. Key word here being "favour".
What a fair comparison should be based on is the average expected items you are to get, not outliers. Comparing outliers is not reasonable as it is not proven that 3 is the max amount of items possible from the first 3 rounds.
It is more likely that 1 - 2 items is the average items one should expect. In that case the comparison based on the scenarios should be rather an item is worth 5g/2g respectively.
