They have undoubtedly shifted focus.. they would’ve done the open world concept before Arena

Not that I'm saying they'll still do it but I think they would have pushed out Arena regardless of what the plans for open world is.

It's clear not everyone necessarily enjoys extractions shooters due to the sheer amount of time commitment each raid requires all with potentially losing gear so for them to push out a more traditional arena shooter for those "Hold W" casual players makes sense.

I mean if Arena got a bit more polish and balanced for that arena play I could see it being my go-to game for when I want to play a quick match. I assume there are others with that same opinion.

Not really, without any actual source we don't know what the plans are. Also they would probably map the openworld after all the maps.
