[Aladdin] If Aladdin is the only one worthy of entering the Cave of Wonders but can only touch the lamp, who is all that treasure for?

To quote the Disney Wiki:

>The cave can only be entered by an individual whose "worth lies far within" --the diamond in the rough. Those who make attempts to enter, otherwise, are killed almost instantly.

>To keep these laws intact, and unworthy thieves away from the powerful riches that lie within, the cave is guarded by a massive, intimidating God-like Spirit with the shape of a tiger's head.

To me, this implies that the gold is there to weed out borderline entrants that may be tempted to grab something exciting when they only have permission to snag the one item they're after. 

It is a cave of wonders after all, it may have all sorts of other exciting items. A sonic screwdriver from the doctor, or a lightsaber, but mostly it seems just gold.

Maybe all that other jazz is just some kind of illusion for whomever made the entry by the guard at the front. Personalized for what they would think is best.

Also, someone let the monkey in, so Aladdin's not the ONLY one who can get all up in that.
