They usually just reuse maps already in the game. They may or may not change the weather or ambience. They might slightly change the game mode to something different and may limited which weapons you can use. Skins are bought with in game currency and a few are given for free. See Apex Legends or Rainbow 6 as examples. I’d bet Valorant and Overwatch are like this, but I’ve never played those. Honestly we should consider ourselves lucky they didn’t decide to lootboxify the skins.
The thing is, many of those are free-to-play titles. I would expect paid-for skins on F2P to get money back for the content. BF is a full-priced game, which has been out almost a year, and has less content released in that year than any battlefield title ever in that amount of time.

True, but if you want to unlock everything on day 1 you have to dish out money for currency to unlock most of the characters.
