We expect Kiwis and South Africans to play the BBL during their home summers (We need star power imports for a successful BBL!) so I suppose we can't complain if Australians play other tournaments during our summer.

It's owned by basically the same people and exists for the same reasons that the SA20 league does anyway. That's capitalism for you. It's why sports are better when they're less popular.

We rarely have top level imports from SA and NZ play in the BBL which is fair enough, of course if they are serious for international selection they'd be playing cricket in their own country in their season. The only top liners I can think of are ABD, Faf, Boult and McCullum and they were all past international careers at that point.
Warner venturing off to play in the UAE league shouldn't happen, would be the equivalent to Faf playing the entire BBL rather than going back to pay SA20, which doesn't happen

Faf plays where he is paid the most money. Colin Munro stopped playing domestic cricket in New Zealand so he could play in the BBL. He quit international cricket to do it too. Jimmy Neesham and Colin de Grandhomme turned down a New Zealand central contract to play BBL last year. Trent Boult did the same and New Zealand are not picking him for Test matches now only because they won't allow him to pick and choose when he plays.
Warner would be exactly the same as Trent Boult. Not playing their own domestic comp to chase money with the travelling circus. He'll still available for the ODI World Cup though. If you were okay with Boult - who would still be New Zealand's best bowler right now - playing BBL rather than for NZ let alone in the Super Smash, you should really be okay with Warner playing in the UAE during the Australian summer.
I said the same at the time Boult signed up to the draft where he was eventually taken by Melbourne green:

Btw, Trent Boult has been selected by NZ for their upcoming ODI series against England, which would suggest plans to play him in the WC later this year.
He was not selected in the T20I squad for the UAE, where an “A” team was taken. And also not in the squad for the T20Is against England.

Is anyone able to break this down into a list of those who are actually good? Having had a brief scan, I'm imagining the list is 10-20 long.
Yeah look I don't see this guy getting picked up this time around.

Cricinfo have released a list of platinum players, if you are looking for a list of the big names. I tried to make a list, but could not narrow it down to 10-20 players
Rauf, Pooran, Harmanpreet and Kapp among platinum nominations
Twenty-five players have been elevated to the top groups across the WBBL and BBL
Also, Pooran and Rizwan are late outs for the draft. Big misses.

Geez, it's a bit dire, particularly with Pooran and Rizwan out. The really need to find a way to get all the Test stars involved, otherwise it's always gonna feel a bit second rate. That's not to say I don't enjoy it and I do like seeing young and unknown talent step up.Cricinfo have released a list of platinum players, if you are looking for a list of the big names.

How many people would actually go to BBL games to watch Pooran and Rizwan? I genuinely think the amount of Australian sports fans who know who Nicholas Pooran is would be less than 10%.
Pakistani's might go to watch Rizwan but it's not like there's been an uptick in crowds for any other Pakistani who has played in the comp. If there's more than 10 non-Indians in the world who would make a noticeable difference to BBL crowds + ratings I'd be amazed. And if those 10 or so are playing BBL then they're likely doing it instead of playing for their country which I just don't see how that is good for cricket.
Let the international cricketers play international cricket and other players play domestic competitions for me.

While I agree this is true, and would include people like Harry Brook who some people were watching in the Ashes just a month ago, if someone like Pooran comes in and lights a game up, the casual viewer remembers it, they are more likely to watch the next game, maybe go see a game live. It's not so much about the individuals but about making the BBL seem special in a crowded sporting market. Same is true of any player, including grader cricketers, but they are less likely to pull it off than an international talent.

I feel like you are compromising international quality for viewers. Pooran and Rizwan are big name players in the international circuits, and are both massive game changers.
Also, I think that the fact that no body knows who some of the big names T20 players in the world are is concerning for Australian cricket and it's viewers. If there is no motive to get bring these players to the BBL, then the BBL will continue to linger down the bottom of the list of T20 leagues. One big aspect of why leagues like the Hundred and the IPL and the SA20 and the MLC are leaders in the T20 leagues is the interest/availability for international players to play.
We are already losing players to the SA20 and ILT20, and those leagues are already one season in. This is not a good thing.
Everyone on this board already accepts that 8 teams is too much of the BBL, and therefore the talent pool is too heavily diluted with Grade cricketers. Why not fill that with high quality international stars instead to boost the quality of the league.

We might be losing players to these other leagues because of simple dollars, but with the exception of the IPL, has there been a more successful league for longer than the Big Bash?
