'''The Royal Guards and Meruem were crazy strong, but it was also largely due to their physical strength, and they were able to overpower Nen users with it. I hope it remains this way. '''

But they also had way more nen than them. Youpi had 20+ times more nen than Gon, and aroud 4 times more than Moral.

Kurapika became very strong in a short while thanks to his Limitations, but Netero apparently made none; he had a very strong will to begin with, and after achieving perfect physical fitness, he came up with an ability that worked perfectly well with his speed.

The fact that he has super speed and can pray really fast doesn't change the fact that putting your hands together and prying in the middle of a fight everytime you are going to attack is a limitation, or at least a really stupid way of attacking if you aren't the fastest in the universe.

'''But what I am saying is that, sacrifice might not be necessary /at all/. Sacrifice may just something the old world has come up with that happens to work. But isn't truly necessary. '''

But then we have someone like Franklin, who cut his fuse it looked cool and made his attack stronger. He didn't do it to show his will/resolve/etc., he did it because it looked cool to him and this was enough to show the God of Nen his resolve and made his attack more powerful. Even if you don't realize you are doing it, or if you do it for something other than getting more power, if you do something that show your resolve/will, your technique will have more power, regardless of your intention. So i'd say that this is a nen law instead of something old people came up with. They may not be necessary, but you do gain more power through them.
