Why? I don't understand, it's not pay to win and they pretty much benefit you in no way unless you want some bling dancin'. So I simply don't understand the problem with them. I think they should be putting the money from them towards new strikes or events that happen fairly often. But seriously why are people so upset about them?
I'm use to the idea of micro transactions, being a Mobile gamer on the side, pretty much every game has micro transactions.
I'm just glad they aren't flaunting it every time I log in to
"buy silver now and get bonus (amount depends on spent do) silver"
"Buy this weapon now to get ahead of the guardians."
