I think it's whale marketing. It's easier to trick one person out of 100 to give you $100 than to trick 100 people to give you $1.

I'm terribly sorry to tell you this, but it's not just whales anymore, it's a majority of people. Nearly everyone I come across in games has some sort of $20+ skin. The whales just moved on to spending more, but so did everyone else.

The newer generations dont know any different, this is the norm for them.
