I mostly agree, except Ubisoft doesn't make any games I want to waste time on. I've played them already 10+ years ago. GamePass was pretty good when I was still on Windows, but it doesn't work on Linux. It has a ton more interesting games rather than the same game every time, where 90% of the gameplay is them making you collect stuff for no good reason, which isn't enjoyable.

That’s because Ubisoft have been making the same game with a different coat of paint since at least Far Cry 3

Yep. That's the issue. They're far too comfortable to make anything interesting. People need to stop buying their games if they want them to make good games.

Ubisoft is doing some nice things in VR space. Eagle Flight is a delightful game, Star Trek: Bridge Crew is a dream come true in many ways and while technically the appeal of Assassin's Creed: Nexus is that it feels like an old game with new paint, it's a LOT of paint in that case. It's not all bad.
