The difference is, in many other games (primarily mmos), players who joined afterward can often still have a chance to get the limited item, typically by buying from other players, though often outrageously expensive due to rarity. In DragonVale, there is no monetary value for dragons beyond what the player can sell them for in their own park, as there is no interaction with other players other visiting their parks and gifting them a gem. So it's not exactly the same situation.
