I don't consder myself a sucker.
As I see it we made a deal: They gave us the Addon API, in turn we would deal with all those minor UI stuff that would take them exessive amounts of time to develop and debug (for the benefit it would make).
So far the deal seems to be working out.
There is no word of god on Addons for Console yet. Not sure how viable lua would be to "break out" of ESO. It seems to be running mostly in the sandbox that the API provides and there are not critical construts (like pointers) in it. Maybe because they are written in .lua they would be viable.
But overall people say it would be "a positive, but unlikely surprise if Consoles get Addons".
