You have said what I've lost the drive to bother saying anymore.
It won't change, and never will. This is a new generation of gaming consumers (and I stress consumer). All a game needs in order to sell today is bells, whistles, and flashing lights - hype train/commercial.
You'll even have kids (and some "adults"...) who steal their parent's card to buy the next awesomeness. Consumers today defend companies against any and all naysayers with zealot level loyalty. Companies notice this and no longer bother with beating competition with quality, and just focus on hype.
Destiny was a great game that was dissected into just a good one. Though, A LOT of factors played into that - egos and greed were likely the biggest. All one can do is hope (hope.....) Destiny 2 at least tries to be better...

Xenobis, I actually find the opposite to be true. I see this as a new generation of gaming consumers, mostly teens and twenty-something, who are so gratuitously entitled that they presume every developer should make every game to suit exactly their tastes. Who gives a shit about microtransactions? No, they didn't exist in old-school games - because there was no vehicle to allow them. I bet Super Mario Bros. would've had DLC on the NES if the Internet existed back then. Duck Hunt microtransactions to add clay pigeons and turn the dog into a fox. Who knows?! What is greedy about offering players an opportunity to pay real money for items that are strictly cosmetic? If it helps fund additional content and feed their developers and QA staff and artists and designers, then awesome. You don't NEED to buy new emotes. You either do because you want to, or you don't because you don't. The zombie dance doesn't make you better in the Crucible or make it easier to kill Oryx. Honestly, I like Destiny more now than I did at launch. There's more to do, there's more variety, better story, different aspects. I believe in Bungie and what they are doing.

What kind of car do you drive? Does it have any options? Power windows / locks, air bags, remote entry, on star, gps, CD or maybe MP3, Bluetooth. If your not driving the base model you are being taken advantage of by the automotive industry as well. HOW DARE THEY! It's just business, if you don't want the bells and whistles don't pay for them, but don't protest those who do

If I purchased a car with all the "bells and whistles", and in order to keep them active I had to buy another car, what then? I take it you think it's sound business to cut off a vast majority of content for people who have already spent $100+ on the Destiny and it's first two "DLCs"? If you purchased HoW you were purchasing ToO, but if you don't have TTK, you're cut out from an element of the advertised game you paid money to take part in (this also includes Strikes, etc.). Defending that kind of practice is asinine. It's you job as a consumer to rear in a company you support when they overstep the bounds of business and into sheer greed and distasteful acts. If you think it isn't, then go kick rocks.
