But since you asked, it’s because instead of being about providing a good product, it’s still just designed to pressure people as much as possible to play as much as possible and spend as much money as possible to get the stuff before it goes away forever. It’s inherently predatory.
Season passes are NOT inherently predatory. In the specific circumstance you describe, it very well may be. But as far as I understand it (and if this is wrong, please correct me):
Destiny is free for anyone to play, however a lot of the stuff you can do is only available if you buy the season pass. Free players can't play every activity. Nothing about that is inherently bad; it's no different than a shareware game with only the first few levels playable until you pay to get the whole thing.
But combine it with microtransactions as you describe, and you have problems. The problem is always the microtransactions.
