Aren't most micro-transactions like those purely cosmetic?

Yes for Valve, but that hasn't stopped a secondary market transacting tens of thousands of dollars or more for them in some cases.

They are in Valve's own games. But items drop at different rates, which creates artificial scarciry and items can also be traded for money.
