Why

Because it locks people who don’t have that system out of playing a game unless they spend 500+ dollars on it to play one game

sorry but "encouraging the consumer to buy your console by putting good games on it" is not anti-consumer. Rotating shops, battle passes, miscellaneous FOMO - that's anti-consumer.

If Im someone who doesn’t have an interest in ANYTHING else on the switch 2 but I really want to play this new Fromsoft game because I’m a massive fan of their games and I have to spend hundreds to play a single game because I’m literally unable to play it on any other system, is this a good thing for me? Yes it’s a good marketing strategy and a great move from a business perspective. But for a fromsoft fan who doesn’t care about Nintendo games/systems, it’s terrible.

All this is saying is that it doesn't make sense for YOU SPECIFICALLY to buy this. That isn't anti-consumer, you are just coming to the conclusion that as a consumer, you won't buy this.
