(Note: The last YCS tourney prize card that was competitively viable was worth over $1,500)
It's not just that the part is rare, it's that it's rare and disgustingly powerful. It outclasses basically all other parts in Stamina as far as we've seen, and it's valued at HUNDREDS (yes, with an 's') of dollars USD. Yeah, some people have they beypoints/money to spend on such a powerful part, but nobody wants to go to a tournament where one lone entrant basically says "I win because I payed a lot of money"
Tournament prize cards that read win duel , are never tournament legal as far as I know. If there really is such a card do enlighten me. I would also think it's probably an errata
It's a hypothetical card I made up to make my point. The cards you're thinking of are Match Winners (Monsters with the effect segment "If you [condition], you win the match"), which always have "This card cannot be used in a Duel" written where the serial number normally is (Except "Victory Dragon", but he was instantly permabanned upon release so it might as well count). There's a big difference between "you win the duel" and "you win the match".
Back on topic, the existance of said card is not crucial to my point. It was merely to demonstrate the oppressive power that Outer provides, and how it's exclusivity compounded on it's power is what made it banworthy.
