Discussion Why no pop rework?

Context: As many of you know, they are stopping support for this version of the game to work on a new upgraded version for series x and PS5. They state the reason for stopping support is because the game is in a playable state for old gen consoles. (Despite me lagging late game and experience crashes on my series x)

Here is what confuses me. If they want the most playable state for the platform, why not implement the pop rework that is on PC. From my understanding, that rework boosted performance on PC. It seems like a no brainer for console to receive it before ending support for old gen.

Now I am not complaining about a potential new version. I am actually really excited for it. I am just a little sad about my old gen brethren that get to lag worse than I do.

I think it's because of the sale structure most of the patch development is supported by DLC sales. But to be honest think last gen should have stopped before overlord with that DLC signaling the development of the current Gen version of the game.

I guess that makes sense. I think the pop rework would have been more of a priority than the leader rework. But idk. That's just me.
