That there is only a fraction of the numerous AddOns on the XBOX, because you are limited to the Marketplace… Given!
Also that it is apparently not quite uncomplicated for developers of AddOns to be admitted first in the Marketplace… Given!
Also that Microsoft/Asobo probably only in the next update a slightly different “pricing model” or also allows bundles of providers… Given!
But why, there is still no possibility to load new paint jobs for his favorite plane also on the XBOX. Yes… There are the paid (and some very good) bundles with paint jobs. And yes… Surely also Microsoft earn something on the MSFS. Still, I don’t understand why they can’t at least deviate a bit from the usual “business model” when it comes to paint jobs. When I look at Forza or Forza Horizon, what numerous works of art come from the very talented community… I’m sure there are quite a few hobby pilots who are at least as talented and would love to share their paint jobs with other pilots.
How do the other players (especially on XBOX) see it?

With that said, I think it is something that they are working on. It’s listed as “Started” in the feedback snapshot (#32):
