Except that people purchase these things in order to get exclusive items that aren't available ingame. There is no difference between buying a physical item that has a pet on it, or just buying the pet. Either way, you're paying for the pixels. Most of the people who purchased the soundtrack did so just for the pet. You can get the music for free if you know where to look.

Don't be naive, it's the same thing.
