You can't even get 40 hours playtime in most games.

Most games don't aim to provide hundreds.

If you can't get 40 hours out of a AAA game then it wasn't a AAA game.

True, but games are different and an open-world game should be fun for far longer than for example a linear shooter, due to density and freedom with sandbox elements.
