At least cosmetics do not affect the gameplay or fairness in any way. I think that's an important distinction to make. In Diablo Immortal you're paying for actual gear or items that help enhance that gear.

I have no problem with people buying fancy skins (or companies making money on them) because it doesn't provide players any advantage.

However, do I think sometimes even cosmetics can get rather expensive / predatory / addictive? Yes, they're not immune to other problems. Especially when they come in loot boxes. Rocket League has some neat cosmetics but I'll be damned if I'm going to pay $20 for a neat looking goal explosion or whatever...
