One of the major issues is younger demographics aren't familiar with what they missed out on and how they should be treated, and they're willing to accept some discomfort if they've never dealt with it before. It's like predatory developers are Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused: "That's what I love about these [gamers]... I get older, they stay the same age." There are constantly new gamers entering the market whose perception of "normal" is much different than ours, and developers count on that.
On top of that, a lot of gamers are losers who let the whole world walk all over them. We're also talking about the types who enter parasocial Twitch streamer relationships and let all their money get siphoned away through donations and completely useless subscriptions. Those people don't have self-respect and will fritter away 100% of their time and money no matter how unfair the deal is.
It should, but... remember the horse armour?
