If this is the case, they might as well not included. But it gives incentive to buy more platinum to actually buy something.

Yeah, that is exactly it. It's a psychological trick to scam a few dollars out of people. Mobile games have been doing this exact shit for years, because it works. It's the type of manipulative bullshit you'd expect from a "F2P" gacha mobile game, not a full price AAA title.

PC games do this for years already too...
