the bitterness of some people about selling or not selling commissions and adopts is truly exhausting and also very very sad...

I seriously doubt there is a long time positive effect of continuously and childishly bawling about or lashing out at people who are more successful (aka 'lucky') then them in those areas...
 
what is there to get out of it but more negativity? It just seems like a never ending circle of anger, frustration and sadness - or is there some positive effect to it that I just can't see?

sometimes I just want to grab those people by the shoulders, shake them and 'gently' scream at them to not measure their own happiness and worth on other people's success

I could had been on that side of people to be "gently" shook by shoulders.
But on the other hand I know that this "luck" is just hard work of other people. Unless you were birthed under alignment of the stars and planets, and blessed by 10.000 suns to be able to speak, walk, and dance by first day of your life, it's just hard work (or you are River Tam).
People are often loosing the ideas.

Some people do it out of being jealous, others out of anger.
And there will be a small group who does it for one more reason which is being constantly compared to others. Especially if they were not as successful as someone (personal long story short: it wasn't important to my mother how I did on any exam, it was important how I did in compare to one dude in my class (like seriously, first question was always: "What score did Mariusz get?")).
I'm personally trying to fight this, but pressure of perfection put on for so many years is still knocking out asking did I miss it.

Right now I though that there could had been one more reason as well- not all people are honest, like you, about how much work did they put into something. As I bet most people understand you got to where you were by hard work.
But then sometimes some people can go into "Oh, this Mona Lisa painting took me only 10 minutes, and it's crappy doodle anyway~" (where it might took them days), and there will be people who will believe, and put themselves down as they can't paint Mona Lisa in 10 minutes (unfortunately I had occasion to meet such person; I'm still wondering where do I find those people, like CC asked me many times). Later it might result into "if only I was as lucky as you" kind of comments.
