You miss the part where it’s a trade off to make the game more accessible and better, like in Overwatch and Titanfall 2, where it was all for cosmetic shit that allowed for new content like characters and maps that free.
Would you rather have people have to pay for new maps again and split the user base? We saw that in Bungie Halo games, and it was always a clusterfuck that ended up with a bunch of shitty playlists.
What you do in this situation is develop a huge expansion pack, and charge for it. Make it good enough to be a 'must have' and fragmentation isn't a problem.
Except it has been a problem every single time that it's been done. No matter how good an expansion pack is, you will never get 100% of the active player base buying it. That's why this model is finally going away. It has caused problems right from the start.
You don't need 100%. Just a critical mass.
