No, I think the crux of the argument is that it annoys a proportion of the people who pay money to WG. If you annoy your paying customers then they are much more likely to become non-paying participants (you can't really call someone who doesn't pay a 'customer' - as the phrase goes: if you're getting a service without paying for it, you're not the customer, you're the product).
It's taken me a while (and a lot of money) to come to the same realisation, but I've joined the ranks of "not paying them any more of my hard-earned" - I think they rely on the customer churn to get money out of players in the short term. Maybe it's a more profitable model that way.
You are not alone, the tanks in the referral program, and these rewards in tankrewards show that you should not buy premiums from WG.
Premium time is a different matter, but vehicles ... nope.
