You said you spend the 7000 platinum and it comes for free. It's an abstraction layer above buying it for 7000 platinum. Platinum can be bought for real life currency. So, it's just another abstraction layer above just spending money to get the in-game item.

If you can't wrap your head around this, you're either oblivious to the world ,or a troll

No this is you spend $65 and you get 7000 platinum plus the horse. So it's basically a discount on platinum. Implying this is $65 for a horse is misleading.

Otherwise you're right, the platinum is a manipulation to make people feel like they are not spending money.
