Imagine spending years designing a live service game with the sole purpose of retaining players to drive MTX and people universally reject it. It must be soul crushing.
Eh I'd imagine it's just life as usual in the corporate machine. They get paid either way, the only people annoyed are the shareholders/top dogs, it's not like artist number #5,089 or even lead gameplay designer gets a fat million dollar check when the MTX sells more.
They have their mandate to include the stuff, but it's analogous to a retail slave's orders to always thank the shopper for shopping--just something they have to do.
