After Fallout 3’s success, they should have expanded into a multi team studio. By then they’d been a publisher and developer for like 20 years. Since then they became a major publisher owning studios like iD and Machine Games and then bought by MS in 2020. It took another like 15 years and a successful TV show to realize 15+ years between entries in a series is pretty inoptimal. It’s a pretty bad fostering of talent. Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Skyrim - there’s got to be at least a few people that worked on those games that could have succeeded leading development on a Bethesda style RPG

I mostly disagree. As we have more games, it’s fine if they take longer to make.
We can always play the previous ones while we wait.
