while i certanly disagree with Battlesates new 250€(Before Taxes) package and alle the P2W aspects i dont think we can blame them for the long development. We the comunity have asked for a lot of new gamemechanics that BSG actually implementet(those take time to develop). If i remember correctly Nikita(led dev) showed by 2021 a list of all the features they planed for there 1.0 release and we exceeded those by miles. A lot of new game mechanics, guns, movement animations etc was implemented.
