No. Some of the best content I've played has been DLC, content that would not have existed otherwise. If I really like a game then I want more of it. Sometimes the DLC is better than the actual game or improves the base game greatly. If you don't want that, that's fine, don't buy it, but you don't get to take that away from anyone else. The logical approach would be to buy content based on quality and value, no matter if it's DLC or the original game itself.

The content would have still existed. The content would have simply been more comprehensive and better bang-for-buck. - They used to call such content an "expansion pack".
Or... It would just simply be included within the game itself from the outset... Plenty of examples where questionable content that pertains to a games story was cut and made DLC after the fact.
People keep buying DLC and Microtransactions... So Publishers will try any kind of tactic to monetize anything and everything... If you like DLC, then sure. You like it. But that just means you support the current industry trend... And you don't really get the right to whinge when things go south.

Developers have said before that some DLC is completely original and would not have been included in the base game if DLC did not exist. In fact, developers have said that there is tons of content that is cut for design and narrative considerations that might show up as DLC but would not otherwise find its way to consumer. I've read such about Obsidian and BioWare and I'm pretty sure someone involved with Borderlands said the same thing.
And if you're going to equate DLC with microtransactions (which is ridiculous) then "expansion packs" are the same thing. Anyone who bought those doesn't get to whinge, either.
