Answer? It wouldn't.

...but neither do I consider it essential to employ ToB (or psionics, or incarnum, or Eberron, or other specific material I chose not to use) in a game to make it fun and/or balanced.

My stance, and always has been, that there is absolutely nothing wrong with using ToB in your games. And the flipside, that there is nothing wrong with not using it either.
