Do these players have any idea how the world really works outside their little happy bubbles?

No.
As to the "parity = mediocrity" argument, and the lack of dynasties, I think that is wrong. If everyone is competing with roughly the same payroll, long forgotten concepts like scouting and player development can create a dynasty. Moreau's beloved Oilers were what some might call a "decent" team for a long time in the 80's and into the 90's. I think their payroll was pretty much on par with everyone else, wasn't it? What about the Islanders or the Habs before them?
