This discussion seems to start with the questionable premise that this is something that the owners of the game want to do. I don't think this would be a discussion if it was.

Among AAA arpg titles, do you know many cases of legally allowing unlimited dupes of same item over and over? In poe this is not a momentary lapse, dupes exist long enough to make educated guess this is what owners of the game want. And mirror also happens to act as one of primary tools to facilitate rmt, on par with raw currency trade. 99% normal players won't see a mirror in all years playtime, so what other intended use can it have? GGG knows about this business and lets it flow.

edit: on topic, to reiterate on my previous post, the only working and tested way to combat rmt is to disable trade of best endgame assets, and disable trade of crafting results. So only intermediate resources can be traded, and you cannot equip top of the line character by just visiting the shop, have to work for it yourself regardless of how rich you were.
