Upcoming Winter Update

Your problem is that you expect them to do it in one update. They had good strides in RED, and those strides are being elevated to be much more generous to people. Did you expect mileage to go from 30% to 100%? I didn't. If they overdid such changes instead of a gradual transition then it would be terrible on their end and we can't curse them for not wanting that.

Just because it isn't "super less p2w" now doesn't mean it won't end up that way.

That's true. I guess it's cause the Dec 19th update was "labeled" as the "Super less P2W" update.
The Mileage update did surprise me greatly. Although I can't help, but have my doubts NexonNA will mess with the system in some way for the worse.
