I personally think that the Europa League should be the only tournament together with the Champions League. The appointment of the Conference League should not have taken place, but I also understand that it is a commercial thing. All a lot of turnover for the football association, and in this way very small teams also get the chance to participate in a European round. But the difference in the prize money between all 3 tournaments is of course bizarrely high.

I can't agree with it. The small clubs shall have the same chances to participate in the low tier competition that being created even for the commercial purpose only. The price would not be as high as europa league or even UCL but it can help small team a lot.
It will be so bad if UEFA removes conference league. The small teams with limited budget must also get the same chances as the big teams that are heavily invested by big investors.
There shall not be a differentiation between any clubs. EUFA was making conference league to facilitating the club that placed at the bottom to be able to compete to get low tier trophy in european league competition. It's also helping the club to participate in the higher level of UEFA competitions. I think that you shall see that from another perspective. you shall not only focus on the commercial purpose from conference league.
Small clubs must have the same opportunities as big clubs, even though the competition is indeed lower, but at least it is a stage for them to be able to show that they can actually develop even though they cannot compete with the big clubs yet, so I agree with you.

The Conference League was created to give clubs who are finding it extremely difficult to qualify for the Europa League or Champions League a chance to experience the atmosphere of European matches. This also gives them a very big opportunity when they become champions, because they get a place to compete in the Europa League for the following season.
