I think it is to each their own on the type of diving they do and no one really know the direction their diving will take them. I myself have no desire to go the tech/dir route, and so does many of the divers I know. As for the question where do you think your diving is going to take you when you begin really is not valid. If that is the case, all newbies should just rent until they find the direction they want to go with their diving so they can get the proper gear when they figure that out.
So all a newbie really need to get is a reg set at the beginning, and they all have the ow class mask and fins. And that is all they need to get till they know.
Your point that the waters are overcrowded really depends on where you dive. When I dive in South East Asia, there were no other boats at allot of the dive sites we dove. I had room to see all I wanted to.
