No one should have a gaming diet entirely comprised of AAA titles unless they’re a casual gamer, which is fine. There’s nothing inherently wrong with anything you listed. But if you get tired of it, just indulge in some AA or indie goodness. I enjoy movies but I wouldn’t watch only comedies or only horror or only go to summer blockbusters.
Also much of what you have issues with can simply be avoided by having patience. AAA games not made by Nintendo go on massive sales regularly. If you take issue with AAA game B launching at $60 with a season pass and day one content, wait a few months. You can typically find that complete edition for $40-50.
And obviously smaller games will be more innovative. Bigger games need to sell to recoup costs or people lose their jobs, so you take less risks and go for something you know will sell.
