There were a number of games being asked about with Bethesda, so it makes sense that they would be talked about generally.  DOOM, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Starfield...it wasn't just one IP.

After seeing what happened with Bethesda, I think most people can see what is happening with Crash and Spyro.  The reason everyone is asking about CoD, and the reason it was mentioned, is because of just how big of an IP it is.  I mean, even in decline it was still the most sold IP last year across all consoles, so it makes sense.

The above still applies to many Activision Blizzard titles. 

A lot of people were wondering about the future of TES, more so than the majority of other titles from Zenimax, because its a massive IP on multiple generations of Playstation hardware, yet through interviews, tweets, articles, etc, everyone spoke about it with some ambiguity, unlike the direct reference to Call of Duty in Phil Spencer's tweet. 

In terms of modern relevance, CoD is bigger than every other Bethesda IP, while every game I mentioned is probably bigger than every other Activision IP currently on console save for maybe Diablo.  Crash has only seen one new release that did less than its remastered collection, and Spyro only saw a collection afterall.  So it makes perfect sense that CoD would be singled out.
