The US is truly a very weird country. In any case even if that’s the rule CS is a free game, so no purchase required to participate in the loot boxes. So I’ll ask again, how is that any different?

I’m not a CS player but the lawsuit says that Valve charges money for keys to open the boxes, what’s in the boxes has monetary value, and the reason the items have value is because Valve allows them to be bought and sold. These three facts together constitute an illegal gambling scheme.
You could contrast this with the fact that Rocket League no longer charges for keys to open their loot drops and their items can no longer be traded.
