I mean, have you not seen a Bond movie? James is a terrible spy. He doesn’t hide, he doesn’t even give a fake name most of the time. He is constantly getting captured and then explosively fighting his way through damn near every scene. His superiors (and Q) are always bitching about these facts, too.
He’s always been an action hero, not a stealth hero.
I mean while Hitman is known as a primarily a stealth game you can absolutely “James Bond” it where you try to infiltrate, fail and blast your way through. In that sense I think not only does the comparison apply but James Bond himself gives some flexibility in the action to stealth scale because he is an action hero but he’s also supposed to be a spy. So in a way you get to choose if you’ll be a competent Bond and not get caught or you’ll be an authentic Bond and wing it.
And of course the game is made by the developers of Hitman using the same engine Hitman does so obviously the game is going to be compared to Hitman.
Fair. And the videos you see probably are people who just suck at stealth games; I know the only people I’ve seen playing it also suck at Hitman and just start blasting everyone in that, too lol

I’m aware but it was getting compared to Hitman, a primarily stealth game, throughout development.
And according to the other reply I got, the comparison isn’t wrong.
