When you get to HS and it mainly becomes showcases clubs absolutely do (and should) equal playing time, or pretty darn close to it. If your club doesn’t do that in HS then you are with the wrong club.

Unless their is equal talent their isn’t equal play time. Strongest players play more and will help others get to schools better than they could get by being on a B teams best player. In summer the top players will play more to be seen by the correct level of school. In the fall those that don’t have committments will get the majority of time to be seen by 2nd level schools looking to fill their roster.

This is inaccurate, many teams do absolutely even out playing time and many clubs have policies in place that supports this philosophy. So the teams who are committed to developing the majority of their players now (as opposed to prioritizing winning) should be able to shift to more balanced playing time without compromising their ability to compete in the majority of their games. They may lose a few more than they would if PT weren't equal because you will also have some drop in ability and IQ, but college coaches don't care who wins the game.
