Steam is getting proper season passes support, all DLCs must be listed with expected release dates. If DLC is cancelled, refund for the value of unreleased DLC will be offered.

Season pass means you get all the dlc / expansions for a discounted price since you are buying “in bulk”. So it is about as “buying it normally” as it gets. The difference Steam introduces now is that they need to state what will be in the pass and when it can be expected.
The discount is mostly for giving them your money early, not for buying in bulk. Money is worth more the earlier you get it, because it can be invested. You’re giving them money for the promise of something in the future, with very little knowledge on what that is.
