How is this supposed to be a good thing?

Because less work = more games, dipshit. It's the same reason I yell at the dipshit zoomers who think you need to "practice" 3d modeling. Why would you practice making human models when you can just use one of the thousands already available? And guess what, your human model is going to look 99% like every other one out there because newsflash: humans all look basically the same. Same goes for basically every other asset out there. Castles, logs, foliage, all that shit is purchased on asset stores or 3d scanned. There is literally no reason to ever make any of that shit from scratch ever again.

Every game reuses assets, sometimes from previous games too. ER is beyond overrated but still a decent game.

I'm pretty sick of open world now.

Name one game

it's the best/least offensive in any open world game
which speaks volumes about how open world games are developed, sadly

name one worst than elden ring

Breath of the Wild

zelda botw, skyrim, every assassins creed ever, every gta ever, every far cry ever

Nobody gives a fuck that you arbitrarily hate the open world mechanic. Get over it, shitbreath.

Really, how is ER's the best? The dungeons are terribly similar in visuals and a lot of the bosses are ones you have already fought. Ruins too are the same thing throughout the land. The worst thing about ER is that the game is almost all combat but not particularly good combat. Other open world games have things to do other than fight and talk to NPCs.

Only GTA reuses as much content as Elden Ring and that's because they can't get as a creative given it's supposed to be a more grounded and realistic setting.

never said i hate it, drooling retard. it comes with merits and flaws.

majoras mask was a masterclass in content reuse, so it's not always bad...

You're completely delusional if you think those other answers don't apply. Especially BotW.

negro please. ever played skyrim, asscreed or botw for more than 10 minutes?

Dungeons / catacombs - yes, albeit still no worse than Skyrims. The overworld - not even remotely fucking close.
