Yeah I’ll never understand this weird obsession people have with using Rare as an example of MS bad coz last time I checked SoT is the most successful game Rare has ever done so in hindsight by their own logic, Nintendo was bad for them.

Can't it be both though.  Sea of Thieves can be their best game, but at the same time in a 7 year span they released 3 SNES Donkey Kong Country games, 3 Donkey Kong Land games,  2 Killer Instinct, 2 Banjo games, Ken Griffey Baseball, Blast Corps, GoldenEye, Diddy Kong Racing, Jet Force Jemini, Mickey Speedway, Donkey Kong Country 64, Pefect Dark on both N64 and GBC, and a few more Gameboy Color games.  Most of those games were bangers at the time.

the days when AAA games were made by a few 10s of people in an 18-month timespan or even less are long gone and it's not a Rare thing. If that should be how you measure studio quality today, then 100% of studios that existed in the 90s and still exist today should be only considered to have declined.
