Pretty much this.

While I hate the fact that I play a game with a sub that also has aggressive cash shop promotions, being "unique" is a very common trope among AAA game today. So it's not uncommon to see developer take advantage of this need by promoting said "unique" items behind real monetary value. People will always want to feel special and different in anything they do so its only smart business to charge those who want a little more. Unfortunately the minority who do buy from the mogstation basically dictate the price which is why you continuously see the prices go up. I remember when emotes used to cost $5 but that was a few years ago.

I voted with my wallet and only pay for the sub, sadly $20 CAD a month now, which is starting to get expensive.
