Just look at the maid outfit and stuff.
Nobody said 'Oh well, it's only for those people who like that magazine. Don't argue the price since you are not buying the in-game stuff itself, you're buying a magazine and those maid stuff is just bonus.'

It's a bundle. You can think of that what you want (like I don't care that much about such stuff), but don't deny that fact.
If you buy a collecters edition it's the same. You get the main game and some stuff 'as bonus'. But you [i]paid for that[\i].
There is just no statue without emote (like there is a 'game without extra stuff' = normal edition), so some people seem not be able to see it.
You bought HW CE? You 'bought' the gryphin mount.
You buy the statue? You 'bought' the emote.
