The problem with those kinds of ideas is that they exist because they makes people feel better about themselves if they've "figured it out" and that anyone who buys in is a sucker.
My only evidence would be common sense and logical reasoning with how PR operates. SE is no indie game company, it's really not a stretch to assume those claims are simply PR management.

I don't believe that you're a sucker if you do buy stuff from Cash Shop (I have bought stuff too), I'm just putting forward arguments of what kind of game we might be promoting if Cash Shop is tolerated to get more significant. If that's the kind of game you want, or are okay with, then by all means you should buy stuff from the Cash Shop. I'm just saying that there could be a potential concern you are not aware of, even with seemingly harmless micro transactions.
