you mean they got the D&D license for free?

"what funding?" Bro you're kidding right?

They made a D&D video game. The most popular and successful board game ever made. They had BUCKETS of funding from wizards of the Coast for this. They also had a massive studio with more than 400 people working on it.

James Stephanie Sterling did a fantastic video about Baldur's Gate 3. Essentially, everything came together in just the right way for this game to be made. It's not responsible to call this the new standard in the same world where we vilify overwork and 'crunch-time', but that's not to say you shouldn't expect more from game developers. You absolutely should. But you should do so reasonably.

Just ignore the day 1 DLC.

It's the soundtrack and some DSO2 cosmetics that everyone who bought the game during early access got for free. They're selling it to everyone else for $10.

Technically it's DLC, not MTX as MTX almost always entails individual purchases of items, usually in-game. It's more of a Collector's Edition than anything. That no one seems to care about, even the people who detest predatory practices.
