It's made that way with the intent to get people to pay more money for them.

So basically what people have been telling the "microtransactions aren't so bad" "they're only cosmetic" "it's just to speed things up" people for ages. Anybody who thought companies wouldn't intentionally make things harder or take longer to encourage microtransaction sales is naive at best and plain delusional at worst.

The thing is, even if nobody bought microtransactions, or at least a much smaller proportion, they would still probably try to push them for the possibility of making some money off of it, as I don't know if it really negatively affects sales.
