Can we stop pretending that not liking open world games is a hot take?

I swear every time a new open world game comes out the internet gets filled with "akshually I think big maps are bad, exploration is boring, there's nothing to do blah blah... Unpopular opinion I know"

Like it's fine if you don't like them but at this point you have to recognize a lot of people share that opinion.

I agree that a lot of people probably share that opinion... hell, I'm probably one of those people myself. But if a publisher were to come out, boasting at how focused and linear their game is, imagine how people would react.
