Well for now, everyone gets one more stash as soon as 2.4 launch(so probably next tuesday).
On top of that you can get one more every season. The current season one is gated behind a fairly late objective. They might gate the others to an easier objective, or have a delayed unlock for everyone so the season thing ends up only being a timed advantage. Don't really know their plans in the future other than they'll keep adding stash tabs to seasons as a reward. They might also be working on an expansion that'll add a bunch of microtransactions stuff and what not, again we don't know much about their future plans, since they haven't talked about much of anything at the last Blizzcon.
Mostly I think at this point they've been very reticent about adding more stash tabs because realistically, a lot of people don't "need" them, but if they add stash tabs they need to increase the size of the "saves" for each account, which is a huge waste of ressource if people don't actively use them. That's why I think they tie it to seasons. This way, a lot of people who might just check the game out randomly won't just see "oh new stash", open them, then never touch them again for several months, just wasting space.
I guess they're also against microtransactions at this time. Maybe the scar of the RMAH results and stuff. I personally think it'd be very reasonable to ask people to pay like 5$ per stash tab or something, and then add other random cosmetics like wings, portrait frames and pets like they did on the chinese version, as long as they keep the prices pretty low. They could even maybe make D3 F2P(but RoS would still require a box), to make it less offensive to some people. Although tbh they've been doing microtransactions at fairly ridiculous prices for years in wow, a game that both requires a box AND a sub on top.
That's also why they're gating them behind harder season objectives I think. Wether or not they'll keep it that way, I guess we'll see, it seems it won't change for this season but if a lot of people complain, it could change next season.
