Consider the following. (Destiny)

With microtransactions, you are trying to make portions of the game annoying so as to get people to buy stuff. Otherwise, they would not purchase items that can be acquired for free.
Generally, I'd say you're right. However, this is not true in all cases, especially with regards to Destiny (for now, anyway). That includes this current thing they're selling. Additionally, though unrelated to your point above that I disagree with in this instance, I'd be willing to bet that the stuff that drops from this (weekly reset or purchased) is more or less garbage when compared to whatever is gonna be dropping from Trials and PoE (or even King's Fall). This probably won't impact end-game very much.
