I dont think I agree. Gaming darlings tend to be immitated, and I'm honestly here for it. Dark Souls led to a bunch of mostly shifty knock-offs with some gems. Same with Skyrim, Minecraft, Mario, Diablo, Stardew Valley, etc. I love turn-based strategy games, immersive sims, and narrative games, so I hope this inspires all sorts of knock-offs, but you're probably right that it will be rare in AAA unless the indie knockoffs sell great for a few years.
