Sounds like you should reconsider how you spend your life on earth.

Like, this game is starting to feel a lot like a cheap microtransaction infested Asian MMO. The fact that there is always some sort of cash grab, but you also are paying for a game that you subscribe to, and expansions that cost a little less than a new AAA game. It honestly crazy to me.
As long as these are just cosmetics, why is this upsetting to you? If the microtransactions turn into pay-to-win, then I agree that would be a problem.

Why would they stop? Players are buying all of it up.

I’ll say basically the same thing as two weeks ago, when this exact topic was posted:
I think you’re looking at this through rose-tinted glasses.
Back in the day you also already had Collectors edition mounts and pets, the stuff from Blizzcon (before it was digital), TCG codes, etc. Not much different than these Mountain Dew promos and whatever else you have.
Why is scalping promo codes bad now, but back in the day it didn’t matter?

slight difference is now they’re basically product placement.

Like I said, what’s the difference? You had Coca Cola promotions in the past, when the game was still “pure,” according to some. Why couldn’t people with money hoard those TCG codes back in the day?
