I would argue elden ring (haven't played, not my style but heard many good things about it) and bg3 are not AAA studios, they don't release high budget games frequently, they focus on one genre, and don't have much (especially large budget titles) outside of that area of focus.

That list is also staggeringly small compared to The list it's derived from, and I would say whatever list includes those games has a much larger "awful titles" section to go along with it. If anything I would say the games you listed (that are from multi title developers) are the exceptions that proves the "don't buy AAA titles" rule.
