I can't believe people are complaining about this.
They're offering an incentive to buy a game new. Extra content. No fussy DRM, no hassling with limited installations, just some free shit to entice buyers to drop $60 on a game instead of waiting and pirating it or getting it cheaper used.
This is the very definition of how a free economy is supposed to work. Mutually beneficial programs that help EA make money and the customers get more content for early adoption. It's ridiculous that publishers have taken this long to figure it out. There are a few that have tried this in the past but nothing consistent.
