What the NFTs are linked to is what is of value

No they're not, they're entries in a star registry.

All the NFT does is show who owns whatever it represents.

No it doesn't. Just like a receipt doesn't show who owns something, an NFT doesn't either. It just shows who spent money on something.

You seem angry about people selling stars. The NFT is just the paper the certificate is printed on.

I'm not angry, I just find it funny that people think that NFTs or star registries confers ownership of anything.

An NFT on its own doesn't allow transfer of legal ownership of real goods. It needs to reference legal documents and those documents need to reference the NFT and whatever other property or rights are being sold.
