The 5 star selectors are not permanent. As of this post, no new player that starts today can, for example, pick Acheron or Aventurine from a selector. And Log in rewards are also not permanent, ergo, not truly free, hence why Ratio and DHPT are not on it. Only permanently unlockable/gifted units are truly free.
