It sounds like he burned himself. Modern F2P games are not P2W. You can unlock everything that affects gameplay through natural progression without spending a penny. Aesthetic things like skins may be pay-only, but those have no impact on your in-game performance. They also tend to be ridiculously overpriced. But again, completely optional. If your friend felt compelled to buy every $10 skin, he wasn't "burned." He just spent his money irresponsibly.
Mobile f2p games are more of the pay to speed up the game/get access to more ingame, non-aesthetic items. Farmville is addictive and profitable for a reason after all.
