That doesn't seem completely fair. Some players would get easier conditions and some would get harder.

For that one tournament, you're correct. It's really not fair.
But the argument is that's how golf works "in real life" (i.e. the luck of the draw). It's also argued that if a player enters multiple tournaments, then it will eventually work out (i.e. the player will eventually benefit from easier conditions).
