I wouldn't be surprised. One reason these games often come out so half-baked is because teams get them halfway through dev, but have never worked on the project. So by the time you've learned how to work on it, you're put on a new game.

It's shocking just how bad the largest studios are at making common sense decisions.

But the sad fact is they'll still sell an insane amount of copies no matter how bad the game is. The question becomes what will players put up with. The continued amount of players on games like Overwatch 2, the newest COD, HALO, any EA sports game, WoW, etc, all tell them they can do really whatever they want, and people will still support them.
