On Inferno, this is certainly not the case. The items needed to progress through it drop at astronomically low rates, generally forcing people into using the AH to at least some extent, if not a very great one.
Top end items have always been astronomically low drop rates in these games. The only reason it wasn't like that in earlier games was because of rampant duping. Just like D2, if you want the top end gear you can farm for it, or you can trade for it. If farming for it takes too long in your opinion don't complain about being "forced" to trade for it. That's on you. You choose not to participate in the other viable option.
