Not Wanting Sims 5 Because Spent Money On Packs

I've seen a few people say that they don't want sims 5 because they spent money on packs. I can't seem to wrap my head around this logic. Can someone who thinks this way explain? The Sims games won't stop being made because someone bought pack(s). Not to mention this has happened with every sims game before 4, so I'm not sure what they expect to happen? Also, sorry if I come off as passive-aggressive, that's not my intention I just don't understand.

I guess it might also be a consequence of TS4 still feeling unfinished after being out for 6 years. Players are still requesting items and features that were already available in previous iterations by their 5th year.

However because of how terrible the Sims 4 was people assume that this is what a base game has to be like and that's not true.
Many say "do you want to wait 2 years again for toddlers?!" And I think they don't understand that waiting for a base game feature isn't normal and should come right away with the Sims 5.
Yea ts3 expansion packs are beefier but the store is a complete rip off.
The empty feel of the base games when you go from having 10+ packs to none is very real. Even if you like the base game, it's hard not to start immediately wanting more. Hence why I've had 4 for only a year and have half of the packs haha.
Same for me, except I will not touch TS3 with any circumstances. I still play TS2, and will. But yeah, after this I am done spending money at this game (or pretty much any games).

Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
oh i see, i was a child when the first came out.
Otherwise, I'd most likely be more than happy to purchase it... but the direction many gaming companies are taking certainly concerns me with the future of Sims 5...
I don't mind purchasing the packs all again (especially since each iteration generally comes up with a way to make the repeated packs better than the previous)... but yeah, the type of game Sims 5 could end up becoming is what truly makes me cringe.
Sims 1: Hot Date
Sims 2: Seasons
Sims 2: Happy Holiday Stuff
Sims 3: Seasons
Sims 3: 70's, 80's, & 90's Stuff
Sims 4: Seasons
Sims 4: Paranormal Stuff
Sims 4: Strangerville Game Pack
Sims 4 milked the cow dry. The complete edition willl have made people spent so much, and lots of us still don't feel it's nearly finished, so they better deliver before moving on.
Legacy Photomode
I would like a fresh start, something new. No amount of packs are going to change the game.
Im also worried about the path ea is paving on sims 4, with the Spark'd tv show... i think they want sims 5 to be something im not interested in...
@Sharonia Well it doesn't have to be that way. Only The sims 4 was just the same old with some tweaks and graphics. The previous games all brought tons of new things and innovations that shaped the franchise as a whole. The base games, even though the genre stayed the same, were all so different from each other. Especially the jump from TS1 to TS2 brought huge evolvement to the Sims. If you playedd the sims already back in that era you probably know.
I think people hope that with The Sims 5, EA will finally realize that it's 2020 and it's time to bring the game to another level that same old with a few tweaks. Even though The Sims team has dissapointed us in the last few years, people are just hopeful they will turn it around.
