I helped out a homeless shelter in Starfield (hexbear.net)

This is a universe with faster than light travel and near infinite resources. There's a homeless shelter in one of the major cities. I helped them out. Why the fuck is there a homeless shelter in a universe with FTL and near infinite resources?

I'm starting to think Fallout under Bethesda isn't a satire and their writers are just incapable of imagining anything beyond capitalism.

Not sure if you are disputing this or not but just FYI there is a ton of societal critique in the game, but the world itself reflects the American hellscape where the main forces in play are blue fascism or red fascism and there is no communist force anywhere. I'm having fun shooting the empire in the face without facing real life consequences.

I think that's an excessively generous characterization

Of the factions? The world of GTA is similar. That kind of setting flavor isn't necessarily bad for open world sandbox games. I just wish there was a "good faction" to join. The crimson fleet is the only good choice it seems for now
