But we do need a control group.

I think we need a control group that is disjunct (I am also a blender user).
Photoshop? Probably not.
Or English teachers? Do we have people here that teach English?

I wish more people though like you Warp, IME most people who don't want or
can't get something like to force others to also not have it for no
particular reason.

That's not really true, I was at one of the top UK Universities and I think
it was about 50/50 students from the free regular schools (including me!)
and from private schools. At UK Universities the amount you have to pay
depends on how much your parents earn (plus a few other factors), so it's
perfectly feasible for students from very low income families to attend the
top Universities.
Of course there are far less people at the private schools compared to
regular schools, so the fact that there are so many from private schools at
the top universities means that the schooling is better and/or richer
parents generally have brighter children.
Personally I don't see any need for the jealousy, even if private schools
are banned then the parents will just pay for private tutors or give
additional teaching themselves, you can't ban that. In the end a bright
child with supportive parents will make it just fine through the regular
school system and into a top University.
