Lightning Strikes?

In this case, that logic doesn't apply, because we're already paying for the game directly. The software purchases and subscription fees are paying for the game, and yet now, the cash shop is asking people to pay for the entire game all over again.

But they're not asking you to pay for these items, and buying them won't inhibit your ability to enjoy or play the game in anyway. I see no problem in event items that are unavailable anymore being put up on mogstation. You still get the opportunity to get these items during the events, but if you so happen to miss the event for whatever reason, and actually wanted any of the items, you have that as an option. I believe they were already doing that with the holiday items, I saw last year's items available on mogstation during the 2014 holiday event. Didn't care for those items, so I didn't buy. And this can help people get any items they may have wanted that wouldn't be available anymore otherwise. Completely optional, I see no loss.
