I doubt it's a change of heart out of goodness. I think their micro-transactions model is paying off. I'd expect that in all games going forward to replace the passes/always on. It's probably a better solution, as long as the micro-transactions aren't gameplay altering. Just shortcuts and cosmetic.
It's also possible the profits they were making in OP didn't match the perceived lost revenue from the policy.
