The OP's entire post is completely irrelevant and detached to the reason why people dislike loot boxes.
The issue is fair compensation at a reasonable price. There is not a single individual that realistically "expects everything for free" this is pure pretentious jargon to try and discredit any consumer that has a complaint.
Promoting gambling based mechanics is preying on peoples psychological weaknesses and all around is a inconveinent means to obtain content in game. The current rate and pricing of the Apex store is absolutely crazy. Almost $20 for some skins that are not even remotely worth it for cosmetics you'll just see when you pick up a gun.
EA already has a EXTREMELY bad name for "exploiting" (to say nicely) games stores in order to generate revenue which eventually lead to disdain and abandonment of some of their other published items.
I for one sincerely like the game, and even bought the founders pack for $30 and additional $10 apex coins and in exchange it literally got me almost nothing. There is no sincere exchange of content value to money in the game. That's why people have concerns and complain.

@Allen_Boothyou said it way better than i ever could.
Heck, i wouldnt mind paying monthly for this game and pay2play would be fine too.
Sometimes i even buy stuff in f2p games if i like them (and the stuff you get) enough.
However, they seem rather greedy with apex.
I mean, what are legend tokens even for? Only for unlocking classes? If they'd give out crafting mats every win or an apex crate, i'd be way more inclined to buy something.
