I’m not sure what’s being referenced in the post you linked with that specific wording, but I can confirm that when the Adobe/Twitch Chat designed pet is ready, it will be available to earn as a Twitch Drop and won’t be a Royal Crystal purchase 
These things are not related or comparable at all – your points brought up here are pieces of game feedback that are suggestions for changing the design of the game. While these are valid pieces of feedback and have already been passed on to the development team, they do not have any bearing on a completely separate and fun-focused collaboration opportunity to involve the community in designing a free pet. There will always be feedback surrounding the game itself and changes that people want to see implemented, but having feedback present doesn’t mean we are going to avoid doing new fun activities when we can.
I am honored that you think I’m cool enough to make an attention grabbing and catchy title 
Honestly I’m just excited to be involved!
Right you are, so we’ll be adding some new color combos to a provided base for this particular round hahaha
