It's not that big of a difference because if people still purchase it but don't purchase the microtransactions as you suggest, the message sent to the studio is: "People don't mind microtransactions in games, we just need to tweak them to make them more desirable" ie. more necessary in the next game they release.

At which point the games sell worse, review worse, and the franchise effectively dies off as the publisher scrambles to reboot it (as with Ubisoft).

Your argument is somewhere in between a slippery slope and strawman.

This game right here and now is a game that isn't designed around the mtx and so buying it or modding it in is a stupid idea for people to do, whereas a game built around mtx is going to be less enjoyable unless you buy it or mod it in.

When one day you have a future CAPCOM open world RPG designed with the mtx in mind, then you'll have a point.
