Haven't been there in quite awhile (end of Kinzel, but Ouimet was there).
Complimentary breakfast and snacks, imagine in your head how bad the offerings were and you'd likely still be disappointed. Also there was a happy hour with wine and beer, but we never seemed to catch it.

^ this. You’re most likely going to be in the park when the happy hour is offered (even if you say you’ll plan for it- trust me- you’ll be in frontier trail and a free beer won’t be worth the hassle).
The breakfast is brought up from Perkins, eggs and sausage- lunch time they have granola bars and uncrustables. It’s not worth the extra $$.
This is and remains my only real complaint about Breakers since the remodel- the upcharge for what most hotels these days offer for free (breakfast). You'd think just a basic spread of breakfast staples- milk and juice, cereal, bacon, eggs, sausage, toast, fruit- wouldn't be too much trouble.

It would be counterproductive for the hotel to offer ‘subsidized breakfasts’ (it’s not free it’s a room tax); they’re sold out of rooms in the main season already so it wouldn’t bring in more guests, Perkins is full and has a long wait every morning for breakfast, they sell packages for breakfast with the peanuts in the pavilion, Starbucks has a very long line every morning, there is room service available at the hotel as well: all these options are revenue generating for the park.
If they offered a ‘subsidized breakfast’ it would have to be offered in the conference room to service that many guests in such a short time and would require many, many employees to prepare/serve/cleanup for that many people. The cost to the hotel would be tremendous for food and service. Plus the waste at a hotel that size, servicing families in a hurry, would be outright disgusting.

But how much better of an experience would it be if the “beach resort” hotel offered inclusive breakfast like you could find at a beach resort?
Beach resorts at this level do not offer "inclusive" breakfast. But if you're asking how much better Breakers would be if they served Fairfield-level "free" breakfast? It wouldn't be much better. The best thing about "free" breakfast at hotels is that it is "free".
