Thats not really how things tend to work. First of all, if they launched with everything, the community would be really spread out, which could lead to long wait times for matches and all the problems that come with a smaller community. Second of all, there is no guarantee that this will hold players for a long time. In my experience, players tend to find the mode they like and then exclusively play this one mode until they are bored with the game.
This model manages to avoid both of those problems, by first of all keeping the community focused before switching that focus to new modes when they release. Second of all, due to the staggered mode releases, players will be encouraged to play every mode significantly instead of just picking one mode, which could increase the overall play time
As for your F2P game comment, if this were a F2P game, all of the post launch content would be charged content instead of free content, so that is a bit of a moot point.
