Good rant, it has my endorsement. "Content" is a very poor standard for the quality of a game: meaningful, interesting content is far harder to create than churning out procedural junk or trying to fake it with busywork.
I've sometimes been slightly miffed when a very enjoyable game ends too quickly, but I am far more regularly frustrated by games that try and pad things out. Crimson Desert, Starfield, etc, not that I'm going to bother to play either.
On the other hand, games like Arma 3 (4000 hours), Rimworld and Total War Warhammer as a series (1500 hours each) and a few others? They have interesting mechanics, player-driven interactions, a world that is never the same twice, and usually extensive modding support for when the base game gets stale. Those hours were fun, I was engaged instead of just trying to stay busy. That is awfully, unfortunately rare for games these days.
