I agree with you that this is a consequence of the development of big Triple-A games. But this may be worse in Ubisoft because they make one of those every single year. They are always in a hurry, and that creates problems that studios like Rockstar with GTA or Activision with CoD (they give 3 years to each studio to make one game) simply don't have.

It wasn't a 1y game per team, but yes they were always overpressured and hushed. Ubisoft promised to improve on it.

Looking at Ubisoft Montreal (which is huge with +2,700 employees): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubisoft_Montreal#2009.E2.80.93present

they have been involved in every single Assassins Creed game.

And the same goes for Ubisoft Quebec and Ubisoft Romania, for example.

And do you think Ubi Montreal is a single team? Nope. They probably have like 10 teams and they alternate in the releases. Even with huge team a 1 year timeschedule for those type of games is crazy, it isn't sport game with only rooster changes.
