Paid gambling as a core mechanic is an automatic pass from me. FOMO manipulation is just gravy on the shit sandwich. It could be the best game ever and I’d still never play it because of how manipulative and greedy the game is. The game with monetization closest to Genshin I’ve played was LoL and I dropped that ages ago. I’ve moved on to quality shorter experiences, haven’t regretted it for a moment.
The game is thoroughly enjoyable after spending less than the cost of a AAA game. You’re so obsessed with your own righteousness that you’ve stopped measuring a game’s worth by how fun it is.

Fine, just don’t go spending $60 on BotW
I would happily spend that money on a complete game rather than spend $500 and get part of a game.
