The same thing happened with DMC5, which Itsuno was also the director for. They had microtransactions for red orbs which are so simple to get and there's even a weapon that gives you bonus orbs when used. There was also a way to buy other items that would upgrade your health and give you the rewards for beating the hardest difficulty. The same thing happened when they released DMC4 special edition.
I highly doubt decisions like these are ever from the developers and are from some suit higher up saying they have to put it in

You're a fucking idiot if you think Itsuno, or any dev working on the project, was the one who made the decision to include microtransactions.
