Providing these 48 new courses fairly cheap, or even free if you have the expansion pass, is actually quite customer friendly IMO

That's the thing. We bought the expansion pass because we would've bought the Animal Crossing thing separately anyway, and my kid (and me) want Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. It was still overpriced, it felt a bit greasy, and Nintendo rightfully took a lot of flak for it.
But now I'm getting the Mario Kart tracks, which I would've bought separately as well. So it really isn't feeling too bad anymore. If they keep adding content like this, I'll probably just keep paying for it year over year. I'll have to, obviously, or I will lose that stuff, but I could also see them adding another system to the virtual console online stuff, and more games for N64 too.
And MK8 really is a good game. I will buy MK9 the day it is released, but that will likely be a launch title for the next generation of Switch. Until then, these tracks are a welcome injection of life into a game that is still being played (and bought) at a good rate.
