First off, Mr 68.100.207.181, you say "Run the math" and "T2 always takes 6m to safely achieve". Fair enough. From a cubes-to-points efficiency ratio, I've been getting above 30k per cube so far - and I've been keeping personal daily TFL logs since Heavy Metal War. 6m points divided by 30,000 means it costs "only" 200 cubes to achieve. So we know it takes 200 cubes. Um, there are not enough big bosses to average 30K per cube, even as a tagger. L8s are rare, and the rest of the bosses are all under 30K so I call bullshit with your math.

The first few days are all small bosses, and net 0 on cubes thanks to one-cubing. Without paying for cards, one-cubing lasts about 6 hours and then you are in tag mode, and most help requests are outside your 1-cube range. If you tag them then you are losing a cube, and the return is very small, which means you have to make up a lot to keep a 30K/cube average. If you snipe only, you will not get that many successes, which also makes it difficult to keep a 30K/cube average.

It is not trivial to make T2 and also gain cubes overall. A few people might be able to do it, but it is not easy in general. That would be the exception not the rule.

You claim to get 30K/cube on average but the math doesn't really support that claim by itself. If so, I am sure others can also say they get 30K/cube on average.

I found it was easy to stay in t2 as a f2p. I didn't use a single energon cube since day 2 where i stopped farming. i ran off my hourly energon recharges and battle cube recharges and managed to stay in <1000 rank (finished 530~). I averaged 20k off a cube, this is from both sniping & seeding.

yes, it's highly possible getting into t2 and holding a strong t2 position. I've been finishing in t2 for the past few events from strategies given out on this forum. believe what you want, I'm telling the truth from my experiences. It's your choice to not believe me, but to say "there is no way you are telling the truth" is a pretty strong statement.
