A DLC (even a paid DLC) that adds extra content is, at least to me, a much better alternative to releasing a full-priced game that is essentially a director's cut, like USUM. $30 sounds steep and I'm not a huge fan of Pokemon doing paid DLCs, but that's half the price of a new Switch game and I can continue from the same save data instead of having to start over just to get to new post game content. I'm excited for it.
And if you don't want to pay for a DLC, you can still transfer the additional Pokemon from your old games via Pokèmon Home or trade with other people, so Gamefreak isn't actually forcing anyone to pay them $30 for extra Pokemon.

Edit: Social Justice Warrior (SJW) is a pejorative term for an individual who promotes socially progressive views, including feminism, civil rights, and multiculturalism, as well as identity politics. The accusation that somebody is an SJW carries implications that they are pursuing personal validation rather than any deep-seated conviction, and engaging in disingenuous arguments.
