Agreed. Idk how they reuse specifically, but it is fine for sure - to a point. As long as your game doesn't have 3 enemy types that are recollored across it or all environments are the same everywhere (hello, Dragon Age 2)... use what you have effectively.
I was gonna say.
For a game like Fortnite for example reuse of assets is vital to make the constant updates possible - without that steady flow of changes the user base pretty sure would dwindle fast (as already regularly is the case at the end of their "chapters" and "seasons"). They have to balance old and new parameters a lot to not alienate any/or bore their customers - not the easiest thing to do according to their fan forums... :D
