Secondly - this is a development for honest working families. Dubai is going expected to see a huge increase in labour force, they will need somewhere to stay and rent. DG is perfect - its not aimed at super luxury.
I think you are confusing your development, DG is meant to be a quite development which does have many swimming pools, basket ball courts, spa, saunas and will be surrounded by gardens. Marina is just another high riser that is surrounded by a man made pond. Some familes would like their kids to run around and play rather than being stuck in an apartment...not to mention the pollution.
Here are some pictures from DG

I heard IC is not doing too well and the designs are pretty poor.
