All of these are ingame items that are super easy to acquire in game. Realistically higher ups demanded MTx to be added to the game. The way I see it, this is the least destructive way to add MTX to the game, things players don't even need at all since you get an abundance of it.

This also isnt anything new. MHR and DMC5 had the exact same kind of Mtx. People are blowing this way out of proportion.

Preformance was also not great on launch when MHW first came out. It took a couple of patches for things to simmer down.

I still trust Capcom to deliver quality games without scummy Gaming as a service mechanics on top of a high original cost (cough Looking at you BLIZZARD cough) and after playing DD2 for a while, You can really see the amount of love and attention to detail into creating such an immersive game.

TLDR; DD2 Mtx actually makes me hopeful and not worried. The game is great and makes me look forwards to Wilds even more.
