Generally this funding model makes more sense... (Destiny)

It's the model of something like Dota and it works pretty well there. Path of Exile has also had success with this model.

OTOH, it puts the primary financial incentive in making more dress up, which is kinda boring to me IMO. So it would probably divert resources from more strikes/raids/world events/etc.

Valve's business model involves the fans making (and monetizing)most of the cosmetic content. I Think that fixes some of incentive issues. All of that is harder on a console setup too.
