This old chestnut again (Destiny)
It's okay if you can earn the cosmetics in-game too
And if you can't it's okay if it's still just cosmetics
And if it's not, it's okay if it's not weapons
And if it is, it's okay if they're not exotic
And if they are, it's okay if they aren't meta
People give the slippery slope argument a bad rap, but the slope is there and it is slippery. And Bungie are hurling thsmselves down it with glee.
You can bend over backwards to say "it's not because [excuse]", but at a certain point you have to concede that what you really mean is "My morals are flexible and I'd rather move the goalposts than have to think about it".
