Add-on is a totally different ball of wax. Sometimes free as seen with IL2 and sometimes out there for purchase, also seen with IL2.

Indeed, the content difference is pretty big. Otherwise you're confusing "version number" and "patch" here. It's the same way IL-2 went through many version numbers, even though technically many of these versions had actually been commercial add-ons and you could only get have that version or above if you had the said add-on in your install. It's just a convenient way to label things, that's all.
This by the way also confirms that the add-on is definitely an add-on and not a stand-alone, which should be a relief actually. Means that it's probably gonna be priced accordingly.
