Can't use the word "buy" if you can't actually buy the thing.

One counterpoint to that argument is that you might not know what's OP, what's a normal balance level, and what's gonna be cosmetic when first starting a game.

Very possible but if it's something that mattered to you, you could probably look it up.

Maybe, but I would be worried about spoilers personally. You can only experience a game freshly once, once you know what's coming it's never the same.
