This is because as you know what you are saying isn't true because there are many other FM sources that you don't mention: main story, char stories, leveling up in survival or online, golden/silver soldiers, trials, demonstrations, ads, weekly missions... you can unlock a lot of stuff without paying real money with very low effort required, basically you just need to play the game to continue unlocking stuff for free. And certain DLC stuff you can or almost must pay it with real money like in most other modern games.It's a shame that NRS are being called out for MK11 for being grindy while SFV made changes that made the FM economy fucked and being ignored.
1k FM from challenges and 50FM from winning online matches to unlock characters and stages that cost 40k-100k FM
But yes, many people complained about it when they did the change. About this and about many other topics. Several toxic community members have been throwing shit non-stop to the game since day one for any other real or imaginary issue. I suggest you to read this thread the OT1, reddit or even the Eventhubs comments.
