Yeah some game's Microtransactions are appropriate, such as those that annually add content updates in which funding has to be pulled from somewhere hence Microtranscations being appropriate in those cases. Baldur's Gate 3? Of course it doesn't have Microtransactions. It doesn't need them nor would the game benefit much from it. It's not as if the game is Diablo 4, a game in which Microtransactions are 100% beneficial to the overall health of the game, of course as long as people want more and more and more content for years and years and years. Still a concept that escapes 90% of the gaming community. No marketing tactics are predatory as long as you are willing to part with money, buying a product online is a conscious decision being made willingly, hardly a predatory thing. If they are predatory, it's because the predator is your own inability to restrain yourself from spending what you can't afford which is something that stretches far outside the purview of video gaming. New cars? A house? Yeah, all "predatory."
