This really does not sound healthy. The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don't like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it.

But by now gamers have been so trained to expect to endless content treadmills and all their ilk like mtx and battle passes that publishers/developers get egged on if they don't work on their game 24/7 and forever.

The article is attempting to move the established goal posts for expectations. Stop shilling for these guys. You don't need to carry their water. The devs know this, which is why they've kept pace. They're just bitching about having to.

It's so unreasonable yet we do it. Woe is us.
