Congratulations for making what is undoubtedly the most inconsiderate and ignorant remark on the internet.
I'm sure you've never heard of a deployment envelope or a minimum altitude?

Making commercial traffic wait their turn?
The very traffic that actually pays and keeps the airport financed?
In the USA there are no (official) user fees for GA to fly into large international airports.
But you have to abide by their rules and be able to play their game.
Sorry to sound condescending but you're with the big leagues now and they don't have time to wait for you.
Flying a 737 in Class B always got me itchy if I heard a controller struggling with a SE GA aircraft.
Legal right to be there or not.
Sad accident regardless
