Yeah I've pretty much fallen out of love with open world games (other than Breath of the Wild) because it's simply too demanding to make it great. Fallout New Vegas has so much to do, but you can't make FNV in 2020. People demand high tier graphics, great gunplay, big beautiful landscapes from modern AAA games. So actually filling these high-pixel count worlds with stuff to do is the first thing that get's cut from.
With exceptions for the rare open-world game where the world itself is basically the star. e.g. Breath of the Wild wouldn't have been nearly as good if it wasn't an open world
CDPR pulled it off with Witcher 3 too. That was one of those rare open world games where I rarely used fast travel (until I was filling in the map at the end).
