You are given the opportunity to watch an ad to earn one GC. Wheter or not you choose to invest the time to watch an ad to earn that GC is up to you. It is also up to FM to serve those ads as often as they'd like.

You are representing to the support people at Google that you are missing out on free GC whilst others get the free GC. Once they investigate, pretty sure they will tell you that there's nothing wrong with what FM are doing because you are not being deprived of anything free, being deprived of an opportunity to watch an ad could be seen by people who hate watching ads as an advantage!

Most likely, nothing will come of your efforts. If something happens, and FM decide that their algorithms are correct in that maximizing revenue comes from limiting IAP users to 5 ads per day, then they will just cut the max ads for everyone to 5. They will not do something that reduces their income, and if they think 20 ads per day for people who will make IAP is too many, forget it.

Would that outcome be more "fair" to the minority who have made an IAP? Sure. But do you really want to be "That Guy" who shafts millions of non-IAP makers to feel better about the "fairness" of your situation?
