Its not, its usually the marketing budget that is out of proportion and usually the decisions of the higher ups to change shit repeatedly... Ive heared about a incident of a higher up demanding a completely other game days before release because its not life service game or not a battle royal or what not.

Oh and because many publishers buy the entire prop and texture store for their game instead of making their own stuff or not going for 8k graphics (that look shit anyways)
