Actually, you couldn't be more wrong and are falling for a common misconception. 

You aren't paying for the content on the disc, you're paying for the license to use it.  That license does not cover the DLC, it only covers the game itself.  If you want to use that DLC, you have to buy the proper license.

What are you talking about? When do you sign a license with console games? You're thinking of PC games.

 

With a console game you OWN the copy, you own the disc and everything on it though you don't own the right to copy and distribute it further.

 

Which is fine. It just means that anyone who hacks the game to access the "DLC" is perfectly within their rights.

When do you sign a license for a PC game?

Read the End User License Agreement your game manual, you're only buying a license.  You do not own the content on that disc, you're merely buying a license to use what content that license lets you use.

I'm really not making this stuff up, pick a random console game from your collection and look at the EULA.
