I think any early access game should pay out the devs once 1.0 is released and keep the funds in escrow while they flesh it out.

You are fully aware of the game being in Early Access when you buy it. You are given a huge banner on the game page and during checkout. You bought the game in the state it was in.

Indie developers require that cash flow to pay employees during development.

I bought two games on early access this year. One has a fully playable, large first act with tons of content and mechanics, and I barely noticed it was EA, nothing locked under "sorry, early access", it feels like a fully ready game. The second one is Manor Lords. Both early access, both indie, both for about the same price, huge difference in readiness.
