Because a lot of gamers don't feel fooled. They expected a Bethesda game and got a Bethesda game for all the good and ill that entails.
You're entitled to dislike the game, but complaining that it's not something else is silly. It's like the people who complain about a lack of easy mode in Dark Souls. Sometimes a game isn't for you and it's ok to move on and play something else, but trying to convince other people they're wrong for enjoying it is a fools errand.
You can throw as many buzzwords at it as you like, but that doesn't diminish the lived experience of people who had fun with the game. Why are you so insistent on convincing people they didn't enjoy it? There must be a buzzword for that mindset too.
What about the people who played it on Game Pass and still enjoyed it.
I'm just happy you got to use the new term you learned! Color me impressed!
