Sounds like EA/Nintendo pricing has taken hold.

That would make sense but the descriptor is still not a good one. Admittedly it might be my ancient perspective.

It is not great, I agree but it's how it is used. When you think about it, F2P is pretty standard these days so anything with a price tag could be considered "premium" in comparison

It does, and its not like F2P is inherently bad, it let's a lot of people play who otherwise wouldnt be able to. But the monetization always sucks.

I don't think it's always. It can be done so it doesn't feel too bad I think. But it is extremely rare. And often it does devolve sooner or later. But the point is it can be done.
