Sound effects and feedback, why is this overlooked?

Sound effercts are an often overlooked aspect of games that can massively elevate the experience.

Having say guns sound powerful and punchy in a shooter is crucial to the game feeling satisfying, for instance.

One of the most underrated things I love about BOTW/TOTK is the sound design; the sounds of rustling grass or the wind in the trees, stepping on or hitting different materials, item jingles, etc just helps the world feel so rich and tangible.
