Wasn't the stated purpose for the lightspeed bundles to catch up new players?
What they actually did was catch up new players that were playing over a specific time period. And I would be upset if ASDA said they wanted new asparagus lovers to have access to asparagus then gated access to the asparagus to those who knew the ASDA existed during a small timeframe.
No, it was for any player to catch up.
The actual purpose of such packs are to earn money for CG/EA. This is why they are not on sale permanently so as to create FOMO, and that the next time packs come around players who didn't buy the previous one will consider that they only have a limited window to get such offers and buy them. Whereas if they were permanent they would wait until they really needed the content.
Also your ASDA comparison is poor as supermarkets (and other retailers) have used limited time offers for decades for precisely the same reason.

It was not me that said the LSB was a catch-up mechanic for new players. CG stated that. Of course their motivation is money, but the stated motivation was as a catch-up mechanic.
Your original ASDA analogy has unlimited flaws, humorous you would call out mine. (1) Asparagus does not give you a permanent advantage over those who did not get the asparagus. (2) Asparagus is not of infinitely more value than all the other vegetables. (3) Asparagus does not improve your experience at the grocery store. (4) Asparagus does not give you access to other parts of the grocery store that everyone else cannot enter. I could keep going but I think you get the point. You are standing naked in a rainstorm criticizing my raincoat.
Are you a 8mil+ GP player salty about LSBs? Or are you a new player that was around for the LSBs that does not want other people to have the same opportunity?
