I pre-ordered the Phantom edition and I ran into this problem as many other players:
[BFComms] Installation of Battlefield 6 Content Pack issue - Update 2 | EA Forums - 12736812
After searching the forums, I found a temporary solution: connecting to the servers through Portal. It helped, but it's still a workaround, not a full-fledged multiplayer experience.
Yesterday, the problem was resolved, and I was finally able to play multiplayer normally. But the experience was already ruined. After paying $100 for a game, you expect a normal launch and a full experience. But the damage had already been done.
EA later announced that everyone who encountered this issue would receive compensation in the form of XP boosters and a free season pass this weekend.

The weekend ends today, but I still haven't received anything. I'd suggest it's because I was able to play Portal for a couple of hours, but that's unfair in any case, since the game didn't launch properly in the first place. And I fit the criteria for those affected by this bug at launch.
I contacted support, five people in total. None of them were able to resolve the issue, and they weren't even aware of EA's statement ("wonderful" support). One of them suggested opening a thread about the issue on the forum, which is exactly what I'm doing.
If anyone else is experiencing the issue of missing boosters and season pass, please post in this thread so that company representatives can look into it.
CM edit: there is no need to call for a boycott of any kind, as per forum guidelines.
You can also duplicate your answers on Reddit, one of the users opened a similar topic there:

And tank this post on X so that more people will see the problem and not buy the game:

Otherwise, the greedy and indifferent corporation will continue to ignore its customers and pretend that nothing happened.
apparently they have now said they have fixed this or sorted this twice now yet I and loads of others here and twitter all telling them we haven't received nothing, I haven't received any 24hour tokens or a notification of a free season 2 I should get because of all this (yes I purchased the phantom edition) for them to not have sorted this and lying saying everyone now should or do have it all is such a bad and disgusting move by EA, we all need this fixed properly, @EA if you can't do this properly then just give them all to all players and all phantom edition owners then problem solved, don't ignore us as that is a bad look!
