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 right now and whatever else DICE put out in the future. The legendary K30 now has a sight built into it which drastically improves target acquisition and performance of the user. If you pitted two people of the same skill levels and surrounded them with enemies, the one with the superior sight would win. That's the whole point of trying different sights/scopes and choosing the one that gives you the best sight picture and least clutter on screen. What do you guys think? Is this going unchecked within the community? Should more people be discussing this? It's only a matter of time before they add similar skins to other meta guns. Imagine the AC42 or the SCAR with the new sight. Personally, if this becomes the standard for future skins in the Battlefield series I won't be sticking around. Keep in mind, I couldn't care less about the skins themselves, it's specifically the sights that are locked behind a paywall that has me questioning DICE's decision.

edit: Forgot to add a clip or whatever to make it easier for you guys to see what I was talking about in case you were unaware, a quick YouTube search returned this:

    @Trokey66 I equipped the skin and the sight myself, the first unlock sight has the top of the sight clipped off, just like on the vid. I don’t think it’s intentional on the part of the devs, I think it’s a glitch. It’s not P2W it’s just more broken crap from Dice.

    @xpaydayx everyone has to pay for the game or have an subscription of ea play+ mate but have you bought the season pass?

    because there is a free to play part and the premium part.... (but hey I think you now this if you have “paid” for it… 😉

    also if they would sell DLC's would you buy it? or will this also be pay to win for you? because they hiding content behind a pay wall....

    @ATFGunr Whether intentional or not, that's irrelevant. I was agreeing that the OP's YouTube vid demonstrates the the K30 is ridiculous regardless of sight.

    But then it's a YouTube video so the OP must be right?
