Thats apples to oranges, nothing new is being purchased, its more akin to changing your swing in golf. All makes of stick have different throws and different dead zones/ sensitivities etc. Real aircraft have significant resistance on the stick (non-FBW) when control surfaces are loaded under g, since most computer joysticks have little pulling resistance, and coupled with the default settings there are few indications to show how close you are to a stall/spin. In a real aircraft for ex. a spitfire, you may have to pull close to 60lbs under g to get a stall and snap roll, however in Il2 (w. default settings) you can just pull back a little bit and without warning there is a stall spin.
Changing the stick settings is not cheating, its placed in the sim precisely because there are so many different types of sticks and 1c cannot make a setting that works for all of them. It doesn't change the performance of the aircraft at all, it only changes how you feel the control inputs.
