Things are not as pretty as they seem, but, oh! yes, there are many things related to wealth, but it is actually a complex country to live in.
As they say, "you have to read the fine print well!"
For millionaires it's like the Disney but of a country, they enjoy it and see you later.
In any case, the comparative cannot be generalized only to wealth, so, the reasons for this can be very varied, but I find your context shocking in contrast to persons, very skewed and limited to what is a good individual example.
I think OP has a specific way of thinking, quality of life, they never have to do with wealth, well, that is not all.Dubai in the 80s was a literal desert, but with good management and exploitation of its main asset, oil, they have led this country to a first world country in 40 years.
So, this is a good example of resource management, especially for countries that have oil and live in poverty (rich countries, poor peoples!), Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, of course the former world leader does not even appear in the Top3 Venezuela, then it is followed Argentina and Ecuador as the largest producers.
Source Pic:Ranking of the countries with the highest oil production in Latin America in 2020 (in thousands of barrels per day) All these countries, yes, they should look at oil management with the eye of copying, politicians do not manage the natural resources of these nations well.
But perhaps the most basic and limited freedoms that are coercive in Dubai are weighed against the happiness of the individual and leaves him always hoping that his country could be the next Dubai, since only oil is needed.(!?)
On the other hand, I would mention Norway as a great manager of its oil resources, in short, the point is that Dubai is what it is thanks to its good oil management, but that does not mean that it is culturally close to the West.

Where else you can treat someone who might come to visit you in Dubai like king with so good price you get private driver and rolce Royce driving to airport.
