Agreed. I blame the consumers more than the companies.

I don’t even mind microtransactions, but microtransactions DO NOT EXIST

$10 for a skin is not a MICRO transactions, that’s just a transaction.

The entire game costs $60 but ONE skin out of the thirty that already available or whatever is somehow $10? Why do people pay that? Why would they ever bother making a new game when they can design 6 new skins instead?

Because people are dumb and have no impulse control. Companies exploit that.
