See, I was in agreement right up until this bit here:

And then from there, it’s the usual nonsense about microtransactions and loot boxes and the like, all of which I too find annoying, but which aren’t actionable and certainly don’t amount to inducing addiction.

Microtransactions and lootboxes are definitely highly problematic, and lootboxes specifically are absolutely designed to induce a gambling addiction.
Otherwise I agree.
