If you're looking for a good documentation of some of the issues at Bungie, I'd highly recommend the writings of Paul Tassi at Forbes. I still read his articles every now and again just to hear about what's happening in and around the game. He and I share very similar opinions regarding the game, but he keeps playing it weekly while I left soon after sunsetting and vaulting content was introduced.
As for my take, it's just informed by looking at what really all of Destiny 2's successful peers have done. Most other games that are still alive after 8 years either make regular engine overhauls like World of Warcraft, or make continual frequent gradual improvements like Fortnite, Path of Exile, or Warframe. From my experiences playing D2, Bungie kinda did neither. We'd get a couple of major bug fixes every major patch, but things like load times never really got better.
