You are absolutely correct in what you are saying, in "ideal conditions". But as you know we do not play in a vacuum so it's not 100% correct. A more expensive Marker has a lot more tolerance and consistency in the manufacturing process and better materials being used than a Wal-Mart POS (at least you would hope…LOL). They can also be lighter and easier to drag around, helping with fatigue. All that will have an effect on the end result i.e. the ball being propelled down the barrel. The stock barrels of both with not have the same tolerance in the ovality (roundness) and bore ID (Inside Diameter) thus acting differently giving different spins on a ball. Any inconsistency or minor bump on the inside of the barrel will affect the ball. Now you could take a POS and put an awesome barrel on it, but the accrual marker can't be changed. The machining of the air inlet on a more expensive marker would be much closer and smother than a POS giving you better air flow and reducing air turbulence on the inside of the marker (Now that may be splitting hairs, it may make a difference of 1/2".). I don't think it’s as cut and dry as you make it for the real world. But I understand what you are getting at, I am not Flaming this post just throwing out a different view.
