Relic sure could still use an area or something but if it went more HW than tome farming then even that would be better received. However resources are finite, they're doing a visual update, and they are making an Xbox port (which isn't straightforward forward especially with the Series S being a necessity when it comes to releasing anything on Xbox)

If they gave an in depth resource allocation document of what they have to play with showing where they choose to apply it, in EW case it was applied more in PvP reworks, Island Sanctuary, QoL more so then ever before, duty support (including trial, dungeon, castrum, prae, westwind, steps of faith reworks, flying in ARR etc etc) Sure people will view Duty support making it more a single player game and I disagree really. The further we get away from ARR the harder it is for people especially DPS on say non packed servers to queue for stuff. Duty Support will at least let them get through a good majority of the game and then they can DF the trials when they pop.

But yeah people say 'it seems its too hard for them to put out content' its not, their approach seems to be providing for multiple player types and tidying up the foundations to try and entice more players to try the game. Other MMOs don't really cover all bases or clean up their beginnings they keep focusing on the end which yeah its great for someone like me, but I would rather take the loss for a year or so if it meant new players got a better experience it 'should' pay dividends down the line.
I find it hard to believe EW has way more content than SB. SB had hard mode dungeons, 2 Ultimates, 4 relic zones, a relic dungeon, 2 extra trials(yojimbo and rathalos), a new housing district, relic armor, primal weapons for the new jobs(Both ShB and EW didn’t even give the new jobs previous primal weapons), diving, spear fishing, the list goes on.
