Are Battlefield 2042 and future (BF) titles pay to win?

I don't see a lot of people talking about this and I know it's quite a hot topic in other games. I'm curious to hear what everyone's opinions/thoughts are on this. The new K30 skin in particular righ...

I went to vid to see what is it about and I hardly see it as p2w. It's just a different skin for the sight.
For those who didn't see the vid - tlds version.

This is what it all about. That the sight don't have upper cap. Not better magnification or any stat related feature.
Also I personally find it harder to see that dot than other sights. Yes there is a red dot but I think it is opposite of p2w as it makes things worse.

look at the blur around the sight for the rest of the image and compare that to other sights. you don't lose the ability to look around like you do with other sights PLUS there is no edge to the sight blocking anything out (on top)

@Psubond need to check but IIRC blur is the ads fow setting. I think higher fov doesn't blur or at least not that much. Or might be a bug and it intended to blur.
Still it is far less p2w than it was in bf4 with whole guns locked behind premium.
I tbh think that the difference in upper cap is mostly negligible and all stars has to allign so that cap makes a difference in performance.
Blur - either visual setting or bug. Prob will be fixed.
I personally can't call that clear p2w situation.

  @UP_Hawxxeye The Battlepass previews are equipped with your default loadout. So when you don't have a Fusion Holo as default, you will see your default sight.

    Meh, doesn't quite rise to a level of concern for me.
    If I lose a gunfight to someone with that sight I'll take the L and not feel cheated.
    Start messing with stats then I may care.
    BF2042 already has several forms of P2W that offer greater advantages. Big, low input lag monitors. Controllers with back buttons. PC. Wake me up when the in-game features start to offer advantages greater than these accepted forms of P2W.
