The dlc is important to some, to each their own.
It is pretty shitty to fail to release something and then go radio silence about it with no real explanation, though. On top of the regional pricing issue too.

Question wasn’t rhetorical. I really don’t understand the purpose of deluxe editions nor their importance.
I always just assumed people spend the money because they like spending it.

Deluxe editions for games usually come bundled with DLC for a cheaper price than buying them and the game individually. Take older Call of Duty games for example, where buying the game and each DLC would cost a total of $120, but the deluxe edition with the same content would only cost you $100. So if you knew you were going to end up buying all four DLC, getting the deluxe edition was much cheaper.
In this particular game, I don’t know exactly what will end up in the deluxe edition but there’s already $72 worth of DLC so I imagine a lot of it is going to be included.

Follow-up question: how much does DLC actually tend to change the core game?
Are these just aesthetics or does it change things hugely?

That would depend entirely on the game. For example, the game Cassette Beasts has multiple DLC. One adds a small amount of actual new content to the game, and the rest are all cosmetic outfits for your characters. None of these are worth buying unless you really like the base game and want to support the developers. Then there’s games like The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, where each of the DLC is a massive expansion to the base game, with the DLC having more content than the base game does at this point and are highly worth getting.
As far as Trails in the Sky is concerned, I know some of its DLC is cosmetic stuff and a lot of it gives you packs of in-game consumables. Idk if there are any expansions planned for it.
