Your preference doesn't dictate what's industry standard is my point. It would be like someone only playing exclusively Total War games claiming the Warscape Engine is industry standard, sounds pretty stupid doesn't it.

The last AAA game I bought was Fallen Order,

A shame you missed out on Baldurs Gate 3 then. Alan Wake also got great criticism.

Fallacious reasoning. "Indie" isn't a genre of games. I don't claim AAA games are garbage because of a preference – they're objectively slop made without passion as a cashgrab.
