They're downvoting because the guy is missing the point. With mods, the game can be whatever you want it to be. You want a super short main quest? That can be done. You want the slowest game possible without even having a main quest? That can also be done.

Personally I down voted him because even though I also prefer short, tightly focused experiences, there's room in the world for all types of games. Just don't play the ones that don't appeal to you.

So basically these giant open world games get all the funding, coverage, and attention only to have the actual game design aspects of game design left up to the dedication and size of your volunteer mod squad. So really designing the best game means designing the best looking platform for easy game design. Which helps explain Skyrims sucess in contrast to the challenges of later OWRPGs.
