Junctioning magic and GFs(summoned monsters) to your stats is what makes you strong in FF8. A no junction game disallows all that, leaving you with only two options - Fight and Limit Break - and very low stats.

Also, not playing FF8 because you don't like drawing magic isn't a good reason. Hours of constant leveling up in other games isn't any better than drawing a lot of magic. Furthermore, you don't need to stock up on 100 of each new magic once it is available, and you can avoid drawing all together, by refining magic from items, using GF abilities.
