A trend that does bother me in games is gambling, because it's obviously

It isn't gambling, it's surprise mechanics!
As for the last part, as part of a government committee looking into this issue in the UK their conclusion was the idea it's just whales so doesn't matter just isn't true. What is true is that there's a correlation between problem gambling behaviours and lootboxes. But heh, who cares about exploiting vulnerable people when your bonus is at stake.
