What's the benefit of allowing lootboxes? They're invented by business as a new way of attracting gamblers. Why shouldn't this be regulated or banned? Why is the burden on the general public to try and not be susceptible to gambling? It's pretty proven that various people are.

A discussion can be had without words such as "oppressed".

What's the benefit of X? They're invented by business as a new way of attracting Y. Why shouldn't this be regulated or banned?

Feel free to substitute X and Y by virtually anything.
