Probably because of increased reliance and focus on in-app-purchases... at least, that's what I've heard is the growing trend. I haven't played enough of the titles to have observed that assessment with certainty.
In this case, I don't think they are milking it. Thus far, this game is looking like the biggest jump in terms of upgrades and what-not.
