I think people REALLY forget that because these are free, and are on the google playstore.

Most of the popular titles in the google playstore are free games, and PopCap has made it their choice to become a mobile game developer, and because the game is free to access, they have to follow a format that involves microtransactions one way or another, you can't pay Game Developers off of nothing.

I think it's both a frowned upon truth, but a requirement to do what they do. If Plants vs. Zombies Heroes was really a paid game, it'd probably not have that many people playing, and the thing you want to do most on the mobile playstore is have your game both polished, and accessible as possible.
