Except the DM, campaign, loot etc varies to much. Its not a universal pksystyle. Hasn't been since 4E (which fee plsyed) snd 3E (longer tine sgo).
You can't assume your statement is universally true .
I'll sell scrolls to wizards but mostly lvl 1 and 2 and not in unlimited quantities.
5.5...
I suspect a lot of DMs and pkayers dont psy much attention to it.
Probably mostly there for the rare occasions soellvooks or whatever turn up.

Treasures funny in 5E adventures. Some adventures flood you with...

More looking at official adventures. Not that many scrolls and vendors are very DM dependent.
Theres only do much metsgamimg DMs can do if the Sorcerer know what they're doing.
ENworld I suspect vastly over rates rituals. Most adventures you dont need them and they're not exclusive to the...
Sorcerers can in effect get more spells/fre upcasts via twin spell.
