Some of your points I agree with, some I don't care, but this one I definitely have an issue with. Ask any veteran player if they think you can "pay to win" in this game, and I'm confident most if not all will tell you no. Skill and knowledge go a lot further then ships and voodoo here. We've had folks before who dropped a lot of money and did a lot, but even they were not able to just dominate anyone and everyone.
Buying creds is one of the ways the devs here make money, with which they can further make this game. Removing that option would be removing a good chunk of their revenue. Which could lead to things like tons of ads, payed subscriptions or other nasty things to make up for it. I'm sure no one wants any of that.
I highly recommend you take my advice and ask around, or maybe make a post asking the community as a whole if they think you can "pay to win" here. Again, most will say that while it can give an advantage, it can't win you the game.
