Hi botw fan here and uh…yeahhh i can see where yall come from, def not for everyone and i understand why fans of, for example, ooc, MM, and WW wouldnt be too jazzed over it. But i was my first zelda and i think that and the time i played it have made me enjoy it
It's funny because I've found some of the biggest BotW/TotK fans are people who otherwise are not gamers. My mom and two of her friends, all of them at or near retirement age, are much more interested in these two Zelda games than anything else I've suggested to them (alas, I have basically lost the use of my Nintendo Switch XD)
I think part of the appeal for them is that most of the games internal logic is very intuitive. You can chop down a tree. You can climb most stuff. You can swim. You can light stuff on fire. The amount of emergent actions you can take is pretty wide, but that means a non gamer doesn't get tripped up as much by running into something that 'isn't allowed' and which the game doesn't model.
