There are many great games coming out from smaller studios and still being maintained. Cases : Rimworld, Valheim, Police Simulator, Project Zomboid, Space Engineers, KSP 1, Factorio.

All off the games you mention seem to be FPS games, perhaps that segment and the sport games suffer segment the most from Pay to Keep Playing schemes.

Yeah I guess my comment was focusing on the biggest budget, AAA titles which usually end up going this way. I'd bet the focus on fps and sports comes down to the mainstream appeal/type of audience those games get.

But yeah the indie and smaller dev scene is going great, I play all those games mentioned and countless more that don't fall to the problems
