Sure, but at least Dota and CsGo don’t hide any game-relevant content behind a paywall (I’ve played TF2 a bit, and having different weapons unlockable really isn’t fair).
Also, just a cool thing, you can generally sell the cosmetics from TF2 and CSGO (never played DotA, so don’t know), so If you don’t care about it, sell it on the marketplace, some enthusiast will buy it, and you get 3 bucks to spend on the next sale.
TF2, Dota 2, CS:GO are all games with in-game cosmetics making massive amounts of money.
And Valve did it first so the entire current state of gaming is literally their fault.
that’s a rather questionable take. that’s like saying if Russia drops a nuke on Ukraine it’s the US’s fault for inventing it.

Yes, that works with Dota too.
I have spent ungodly amounts on that game to support it, and I sold some of my swag back to buy more games.
