This is just my theorising: the experience points you get for putting products into production seems to be based on the variety of ingredients it uses, and the difficulty in obtaining these ingredients. The longer it takes for an ingredient to grow, the harder it is to get a regular supply of it and it seems more likely it will be for the production to give you three or four xp's. I don't think the dev's have made a deliberate ploy to be stingy with xp's it's just the way things have panned out with the facilities they have scheduled to release over these last few weeks.
You also get 3 xp for every assist from your neighbours.
Since there is no finish post or criteria to meet to complete the game you can't really say that anyone wins as such, other than by the twist you or others put on it (eg he with the most xps wins). I'm not entirely sure I get the gist of the latter part of your post... it sounds like you are saying you don't like that you top up your numerous facilities and post a request for assistance but your neighbours are not reciprocating? I look at neighbours posting facility requests as a bonus, not something I demand they do for the priveledge of being my neighbour, or for simply being a neighbour. If they respond to a request I have posted, fantastic! They have helped me, and got a reward for it and I am happy that I have been able to help them out a bit. But that's just me, I know not everyone sees things the way I do and I don't espect them to either... just saying there is more than one way to approach things
