I love ya LGO, but I've been a console gamer for more than 20 years and I've never heard the term "microtransactions" used when referring to a purchased add-on to a game. I completely understand your post, but I've never once heard that term.
DLC is widely used to refer to anything the user needs to purchase to add to the game. Is it technically the correct term to use? No, but it's the term people use.
