Don't exactly dislike FO4, id Software did the shooting mechanics which improved one aspect heavily. The world itself is also a huge improvement visually, or at least what I saw of the world map.
However when diving in (played at launch) all I did was rush through the main campaign. And call it done in less than six hours. Would I go back? Absolutely not, but I've played worse. And V.A.T.s is enjoyable in short doses despite being a redundant feature that simplifies the entire game, making any for of build pointless.
If you really want to know why people enjoy these games the answer is fairly simple-
Combine power fantasy possibilities and a big map and that fits a certain Gamer demographic. It was certainly all the rage during the early 2000's. Damaged many of my favorite developers being forced to follow that trend.
Now that audience has certainly died down and I only see it continue to decline. Rockstar is the only sandbox known developer I see continuing to stay relevant to the mass market in the coming years. Bethesda I see at a decline for not keeping up with the times.
And The Outer Worlds may see some relevance for being marketed as "the Fall Out game people deserve".
