As I understood it, the criticism of ImCursedJay was about the MC instead of just having the option to either accept or reject Quinns restaurant offer, he should have been given the option to confront Quinn.
Now if you want another option to confront Quinn later down the line ( Season 2 ), thats an entirely different matter alltogether, not unreasonable, but different.
In my opinion, DPC is saving the confrontation for Season 3, for players on the Sage path, so the MC is as involved as possible. The fallout will not only effect the MC and his relationships with the HOT girls, but it will have a huge impact on the HOTs themselves, and I dont think Season 2 was the place for it. The Josy joining, Maya not, plotline, Sage trying to help Maya plotline, Mona plotline, Quinn getting robbed plotline - they would all be moved to 3rd tier plotlines because it would be all about the HOTs imploding.
I also believe the MC needed the time to establish himself among his fellow DIK brothers, because they will be impacted too, we know JB&Elena and Tommy&Heather know about the drugs at the very least. The MC needed to have his voice heard and to matter, no matter what side on the fence he ends up on.
So would it have been possible to let that confrontation take place in Season 2 ? Sure, but I dont think it wouldve been good for the story we know so far. Im kinda looking forward for a big impact decision, as the web of connections and relationships around the MC grows bigger and tighter. I want a real BOOM, not some poof.
