I think it's a fair criticism, not necessarily one I agree with, but the quantity of content available for the asking price certainly isn't proportional to the base game, although it is quality content, bugs notwithstanding. I think maybe the only game that would come close to it on those terms would be Fallout: New Vegas.
I would hazard a guess that a large part of the pricetag probably isn't just for the DLC though - It's been three years since release and ostensibly the CP2077 dev team has been hard at work fixing the colossal fuckup the game was on launch day, and then some. There's a lot of work that's been put in to the systems overhaul in order to make the base game more functional and enjoyable, and I believe a lot closer to the original vision the team had before the marketing and hype (and death threats) nudged them to push out a rushed product, and all that's getting packed in as a free update for a game that was probably underpriced at the typical $60 anchor point on release in 2020.
