After hearing from some members of the Overwatch team, I’m not so sure that will be the case, though. Still, all of this is going to prompt talk that Overwatch 2 is pay-to-win. This is to give the developers a chance to monitor her (and rebalance her if needed) and to give folks more time to unlock her before she’s available in Competitive.

Those who start playing Overwatch 2 after the first season is complete (each season will last nine weeks) will still have an opportunity to unlock Kiriko.
