I think you make lots of good points and I agree with most of your points. Being what is coined as a 'silver gamer' myself having played computer games since 1979 and so possibly longer than most here have lived, I take my gaming seriously. It is sad to see how fast one sided greed and not listening to the players can destroy what could have become the ultimate racing game. While I play on Windows 10 and have blocked off the games ability to log into the store as well as turned off App notifications and so don't get commercials before or after games at all, One of the things I've noticed is that the Elite cars, even when not used looses some of their health after a week or so. Another bi-effect from not allowing the app notification is that I don't get the A$2 for watching the clickable commercials (not even refilling the fuel points work), but so be it I really can't be bothered with distracting popups. Personally, I am not going to try Asphalt Xtreme or Asphalt 9 as I have a limit to how much money a game should cost and that totals to $100 and from what I see have developed since Asphalt 7 and through the lifespan of Asphalt 8 so far, such an idea is no longer compatible with Gameloft's business model. They say that ≈70 million play this game, but I really can't see this being the case for the next evolutions of the game as there is a limit as to how much money even youngsters are interested in investing... You can easily buy yourself a new computer instead of wasting your money in Asphalt 8 the way the pay-to.win scheme already is, think about that.
