Nice post. Of course absolutely NOTHING justifies what they did, lie and hide the problems and release the game anyway, does not matter if it was forced by shareholders or not. But yeah, you cant compare it with the release cycle of for example, assassins creed or call of duty which are basically well oiled machines of releasing games. You cant also compare the 8 years of "development" of this game with the 3-4 years of development of other open world games. Cyberpunk had basically 4-5 years of pre production and 3 years of production.

Still, nothing justifies what they did, on purpose. Still I cant wait to play it, probably on February after the big patches because it seems to be really amazing. Also this game will definitely have long legs, multiplayer, dlc's and I truly believe they will pull out a game as service model at some point juts like GTA 5. We will still be talking about cyberpunk 4 years down the road.

If you take 5 years on pre-production and 3 years on production while having revealed the game 8 years ago and from what some devs have said they were in death march crunchy for almost 2 years yes you can point out a lot of fingers at CDPR management. They put themselves in this situation.

Maybe they hired Star Citizen's devs. It would explain at least the dev time. If they hired Duke Nukem Forever's devs, then bugs and bloody mess would be nicely explained too.
