Why is that? Consumers always have the choice and there is no manipulation... (not in that case at least)
In the end, it is probably up to which extent the company is going to do that. For instance, I agree with the general idea that loot boxes are wrong for many reasons, but giving an option for cosmetic (not random) or early play to people willing to pay for it (as long it does not give them an advantage in an MP game for instance) or if it just few days for a single player game... That's plenty fine in my book.
If paying more would lead to advantages; I would definitely be against (and some games, esp. mobile stuff are like that); but for the rest; other than people crying because they want everything no matter what they pay; I do not see why it is a problem to offer this kind of stuff. As long as it is not someone core to the game.
