They release them sometimes, but only after they’ve gone through a period of mandatory enshittification.
ie. Apparently Starfield didn’t just have a regenerating O2 meter before Phil got his changes in, the reason there are so many ‘almost interactable’ O2 containers around is you were able to run out. Fuel too.
The game would be a lot more suspenseful with those features.
starfield was originally going to be much more survival based, running out of fuel and getting legit stranded possibly on some backwater planet nobody is on was a real possibility. this would have made outposts invaluable to your success as you can set them up as refueling stations across the galaxy

Then you’ve got RedFall, Halo 5, Gears 5, etc.
