In general, Warframe has a very fair business model now. They have made missteps in the past, sure. But much of the stuff you're complaining about has been removed from the game because they got their act together.

The prime exclusives are just shiny decorations, so you're only missing out on fashion if you don't buy them. It doesn't seem any different from selling skins, which I think is a perfectly reasonable thing to do in a free-to-play game. And the grind for Warframe seems really reasonable and balanced around playing the game without boosters, so there's no need to buy any of the boosters.

And personally, I don't see the problem with weapon/Warframe slots costing platinum. It ends up being about a dollar for a Warframe slot and just over a dollar for 4 weapon slots. So you can build any number of weapons, try them out, get the mastery for them, and then if you want to keep them, you can leave them in the slot that you paid for. If you don't like it, throw it away, and it didn't cost you anything but your time. And you don't need more weapons and Warframes to play the game, it's just convenient and fun to have them.

In a free-to-play game, tossing 25 cents to DE each time they make a new weapon I like enough to keep seems like an incredibly reasonable monetization policy.
