It can be the least predatory mtx system ever, being in a paid game is still not acceptable and I'll die on that hill. Never bought anything with a shop or battle pass and won't start now.
You can literally earn all the credits you need to buy out the store just from playing.
Having the option to use real money is the problem. Nothing is stopping them from adding more and more expensive stuff until you cannot grind it anymore. That's how we went free cosmetics to 60+ bucks for skins.
Nothing is stopping anyone from making something predatory from some angle at some time. You're just slippery sloping this.
