In response to the first question, it's mostly based on budget and the license to use said character.

And in response to your second question, game sales alone don't really cut it for video game companies, especially with how easy it is to torrent a video game. Downloadable content requires budget, resources and time. Selling every piece of DLC for free would result in lower money for the company releasing it, thus in turn causing issues with budget for newer projects, that's why Season Passes tend to be more common so you pay more money in the short time frame, but overall you're getting it at a discounted price. We're in a time where money is much tighter to get due to newer hardware and more employees being hired by companies as well as tighter deadlines and restrictions on budget so they can't piss it away.
