They could be forgiven for taking that long with Endwalker due to covid. But eventually they've got to have adapted to the situation or found new partners to work with that aren't impacted by covid.

This last year has seen an AI boom that allows people to reduce the time it takes to do everything as well, so if things were that tight they could be sifting some of their work into AI chatbots to speed it up. At least tasks that definitely wouldn't compromise quality, such as copy and paste type tasks.
