The LCG data-pack model is great for people playing constructed formats, but it does make drafting more of a challenge. Mature LCGs are also quite difficult for latecomers to get into, especially if key packs go out of print.
Netrunner came out 3 years after Magic.
M:TG and Netrunner were both designed by Richard Garfield and Netrunner's design was directly influenced by his experience with M:TG.
Cards in Netrunner aren't tapped because actions in Netrunner are limited by a player's "clicks", not just their available resources.
It was a design decision.
On the other hand, it's just so much better to play. It actually feels like they made a big list of everything that is wrong about MTG and fixed it.
The constant release of new data packs is eventually going to become really tough for new players. I hope they run some kind of restricted tournament format (e.g., only the core + most recent data pack cycle + most recent big box expansion) so that the keen newbie doesn't have so much of a buy-in, but they can grow into the open constructed format later.
