There are two groups of players, bear with me for simplicity, I know we can identify more, but these are the two main ones. Those who have been around long enough to hoard millions (group 1) and those who have not (group 2).
Group 1 players will likely have all premiums and the only earning potential from them is new content in events. If they are freemium die hards, they are likely to stay freemium die hards at this point, and only bite at smaller cost offers like barney deal etc, scratchers. EA has already made enough money off these players and future money making options are new content from events, and bonus deals. I'm at the point where I no longer need to buy a boatload for events i.e. they have reached the max earning potential from me already. My purchases have been getting increasingly smaller.
Groups 2 players are newer players who are still potentials to move over to the dark side, if they haven't already. A couple thousand donuts is no where near enough to get all premium level content. Lots more purchasing potential when compared to group 1.
EA may be focusing on keeping group 1 happy with new content from events, while trying to entice group 2 players to spend more.
One BIG assumption being made by this forum is that EA has simple contracts with Google, Amazon, Apple etc. For example the dollars you spend in game go to EA. Business contracts are rarely that simple, there are likely factors built in to benefit both businesses and to encourage benefits to app stores. Things such as active players, number of downloads, i.e stuff that would attract people to their app stores or give them metrics to show their stores rank higher. With that logic, EA makes money off of freemium players - perhaps why they don't shut down well known ways to boost freemium play and even mention their awareness of those groups in game....
Just my two cents.
