Bottom line is that business level decisions are being made and trickle down into the creative aspect. This is especially true, and to an obnoxious degree, in the triple A industry. There are exceptions to this like CD Projekt Red, but for the most part all of the others are nearly all in or venturing into it. If you want games with any sort of passion behind them avoid triple A frankly. The more investors run a company the less about creativity it is. EA is ran by investors, so you are only getting investors trying to get the creative team to make things based on a theorized market model. It has to be a shooter, multiplayer is required, lootboxes are in now, people like RPGs, open worlds, realistic graphics. That's how they work, and especially when the company wants to look good on their financial report they will release a game early before it is actually complete. They know it will sell well enough if they don't allude to the incomplete nature of it. This is proven through demonstration every year. I could keep going but I won't so again just avoid triple A.
