I think a big difference with both is that they're not big multiplayer titles that are looking to make money with cosmetics.

If a multiplayer focused game is shit at launch, it won't get a good user base and then it's as good as dead.

Both Destiny and Destiny 2 had really poor launches. Then they cleaned up their act and we're very successful and had thriving playerbases. Light fall and this past year notwithstanding...
