They need to recover the cost of the new items that many players could care less about. Even something simple costs money. Would you rather have them increase the monthly sub to cover the costs? If SE does they run the risk of losing players who don't want to pay for extras they didn't ask for. The cash shop lets SE take the middle ground by offering additional items to those that are interested without impacting those that aren't.
