I dont see why the money thing is so odd to people. Its very clear throughout the books and movies that wizards dont all have the same powers. Its one of the main reasons Hogwarts separates students into different houses. Certain students excel at some things while being poor at or unable to do others.
Okay this I see but really wouldn't that almost make needing money a negative thing in the wizarding world? If you are talented enough you don't need money because you can create and manipulate things on your own

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said they were just as or maybe even more than us concerned with name brands. Just because you can make a broomstick fly and brew all the potions you want, doesn't mean you want to do it. Paying for the best of the best and competing with the Joneses translates to the wizarding world as well.

I don't think so. Nobody can specialize in everything, and even if they did (they wouldn't) they might not have time for it. In that way it is similar to the real world. You might as well be asking why real people aren't full independent and very talented people don't perform every service or manufacture every good for themselves.
Even in the wizarding world there are efficiencies and increases in skill/ability that come from specialization.
