I doubt OTD price is anywhere close to the advertised $49.99.
NO WAY Boost!

Not sure if people had stocked it up for better trade-in value, but a service member like me when I need one, there was no available...

For many dealers there are what are called residuals. This is an important part of our income. This is from all the customers that we have activated or upgraded. We may get .25 or maybe .75 or even 1.25 (just throwing numbers out) depending on their plan and how long they have been with Boost.
However, if less than almost 75% of the lines we activate don't maintain service for at least three months we lose ALL of the residuals for ALL of the customers for three months.
Also, having too low of a percentage can affect what phones we can purchase and how many we can get from the warehouse. If you can't get phones, you can't make sales. You can't stay open.
Then there are in some cases chargebacks. This is more when a dealer is probably doing something wrong or fraud. They will take back the reimbursements that they paid.
If there is fraud, I am in favor of cutting those dealers off. We have enough problems with fraudsters trying to get phones from us. We don't need bad dealers too.
Hopefully this explains well enough though it was brief.
You can move to a lower plan. However, some plans are ONLY available at time of activation. Those plans also would not qualify for certain promotions on the phones.
One note about changing plans. In our new system, we can't change a family plan for the moment. That will be available in the future. So, make sure you choose wisely if it is a family plan.
How can your "I'm the victim" sad story be possible?
The phone is locked to Boost for 12 months. That doesn't mean that the person has been paying monthly service for 12 months.
I explained in another reply a little bit of how we are paid, about people not maintaining service, and how that affects us as dealers. You can choose to believe whatever you want.
But I would rather not sell a phone than to sell to someone that is going to leave after a month.

It isn't that they don't want to have the phones.
For example, I ordered phones this morning for my stores. There were NO iPhone 11 available for me to order. We DO NOT get the phones directly from Boost. There are middlemen call Master Agents between us and Boost.
The second problem that we have is cash flow. Each iPhone 11 costs us $500 (plus the shipping on the orders and some BS fee they have per phone we sell). The iPhone 12 costs us $630
It takes about two weeks for us to be reimbursed for the devices. So, as you can hopefully see, most dealers who are not very large with many stores can't simply order 100 iPhones to have on hand for the promotions. We order what we can afford to get.
