And actually, it's not even true that Tencent forces these practices on studios they invest in. Tencent owns 80% of Grinding Gear Games, but POE kept the same monetization model it always had. Tencent owns Funcom outright and there are no lootboxes in Conan Exiles. I haven't played LoL in 10 years, but I'm guessing Tencent didn't force worse monetization on Riot either.
