Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer (www.pcgamer.com)

Doesn't "nice but short but the meat is in the world and side missions" describe most RPGs nowadays?

Western-style ones, yeah. High-effort side content is CD Projekt's specialty at this point.

I rarely play any new ones to be honest so I'm not sure. CP2077 just feels for me like they didn't stretch out the main story longer than necessary and put a lot of effort into the world and what's in it.
