This is not a new thing, even back in 2012 the much-beloved borderlands 2 got five new missions which cost $2 each.

The thing with those is that, while it was a small amount of content, it wasn't just a mission, each was about an hour of repeatable content that was fairly fun to farm. At $2, they actually still felt worth it with as much fun as B2 was. If they had asked for like $10 each, people would have flipped out.
I'm not a Starfield player, but I would bet this is not even close to as good of a value proposition.
