Given the amount of great skin ideas that the LoL community has turned up, I wouldn't be surprised if the DotA folks come up with even more things to pass out. Imho, I think Valve can get away with having all heroes unlocked and still have healthy profit margins, but on the flip side of the coin, they can generate much more profit if they forced users to pay for the heroes in one way or another.
I dunno about that, organized DotA play uses -cm and -rd modes almost exclusively. DotA is designed and balanced as an eSport, and the system LoL uses with leveling and unlocking heroes just doesn't fit. Unlocking heroes would feel like having to unlock units in Starcraft.
