Microtransactions are legitimately bad in a few instances:

1) Where they involve an element of gambling. This is dangerous and exploitative of people with gambling problems, which is also often the reason people include them in the first place - they're a really good way to get some people to spend absurd amounts of money on your game.

2) Where they exist in games that you pay for up front, where they're just really bad for consumers and screw you out of something you paid for

Outside of that, there's really no problem with them, but I think it's a legit complaint in those two instances.

The gambling stuff is 100% to get kids used to online gambling with real money. Personally, I'm happy to pay for things in games but I hate the gambling ones - no, I will not pay $9.99 to enter a lottery!

I agree, I'll drop a couple of quid here and there for an in game item. Maybe £3 a month?

I could spend hundreds but then you lose the gaming element and win by being rich which is alo no fun.

I'd love to see the analysis of what kind of gamer spends what though. I bet it's fascinating.
