It's more of an expectation problem. You know 999/1000 indie games will be trash so when 2 are good, it's a pleasant surprise. But you want triple As to be good much more consistently and especially on release or soon after but they aren't. Much much better than good:bad ratio of indie games but not meeting expectations regardless. I'd struggle to say 1:20 triple As are good and fun experience on release.

So no, it's not just being cool and edgy but realistic expectations and trends. Indies are getting better and triple As seem to be getting worse. I think underwhelming was correct but dogshit was probably bit too far.

That's fair. I can agree with this.
