Because it is possible to create some transactions but I will have to then manually send all the transactions back to the main address, which would be a lot of unnecessary work if the actual value of tBTC is 0 USD and therefore it should be easily available.

Unfortunately, the days of wasting testnet coins are long gone Sad

Also I want to have some tBTC for future projects for example open a LN channel and just did not expect that it would be so hard to obtain the needed amount.

I keep a small amount for such testing, and indeed always closed the channels and returned the recovered the coins when I was done.

I hope if this doesn't stop there will be just a second testnet or something

As far as I know, Bitcoin is on it's third testnet reset already. You may be able to use regtest instead of testnet.
