there will be nothing else

That's putting it a bit strongly. But it does induce people to spend money. Personally I don't spend extra money on games. I can go to Vegas if I want to gamble for money.

It started in "free" mobile trash and is now in $70 single-player games. This shit costs almost nothing to add. The backlash doesn't outweigh the extra money squeezed out. This is the dominant strategy. It is half the industry's revenue. What else needs to happen, to tell you everything else is in trouble?
