Millions of gold may not buy you a particular unique item or book with a bit of story. You can buy all of the best stuff available from the merchants, but that isn't guaranteed to be the best stuff that can be found in the game and can easily be restricted by your progress in the game (i.e. iron mines are infested with monsters and until someone clears them out no iron weapons and armor sold at a nearby town). If I remember correctly, some of the items of much greater interest are found in dungeons, buying them was not an option.

that being said, duplicating items can still hurt the fun in the game, I just don't think infinite gold is a great way to demonstrate it. Infinite lockpicks or potions is more of a problem raised by a duplication glitch I would think, as it makes the lockpicking and combat trivial.
