It does not diminish my enjoyment of the game, I do not care because it does not affect me.
If it does bother me, doesn’t that make it fine to complain about it? If I don’t like seeing microtransactions in a game I paid full price for (or even just the trend of this happening across the industry), or if I don’t like knowing that some features in the game that used to be free were put into a cash shop, or if I don’t like that executives are trying to monetize every aspect of my experience, even after they’ve already gotten money out of me, shouldn’t it be well within my right to criticize the game and company for degrading my experience?
And if you truly aren’t bothered by it but see that some people are, should you really be trying to defend the practice? You have every right to not be bothered by in-game monetization and not complain about it, but do you really need to try and convince other people that are bothered by it that it isn’t really such a big deal?

“It doesn’t bother me personally therefore it is not predatory or anti-consumer or pay-2-win.”
You can’t see the genius of this position.
