There is a large difference in lootboxes that have the ability to give you more power in the game versus lootboxes that just drop new cosmetic items with no gameplay affect.

Some of those games that you mentioned only contained cosmetic items in the lootboxes.

Gamers as a community have a much more visceral reaction to paying for power in the game, compared to paying for cosmetics.

Whether PvP or not is also a big difference. I'll never play PvP AND P2W game, it become money vs money.
