To be fair that’s all Sony and Microsoft really have.

Spider-man was really good with a bunch of content, not sure how it’s “bare bones.” I swear people just like to not like things.

I think he means that the game is quite shirt if you take away the padding and meaningless side quests for collectables.

Since I did a number of the collectibles, I’m not sure how much time it took me to get through the story line and main side quests. But the webslinging and combat was so polished, the collectibles were just goals to set in the playground. I also enjoyed the narrative more than any of the movies.
All quests and objectives are basically the same in any game: reach this point and/or kill thing to be reward with in game items and/or narrative. How the game lets you achieve those objectives is what makes a game fun, and I swung from the same webs and fought the same stuff to get to the collectibles as I did to finish a mission objective. Heck, Mario Odyssey is 90% “meaningless” collectibles, but it’s also a fun playground.
We’re talking a 2% difference in excitement as measured by some data collection of two quality games, and now people don’t have taste because their sports team err preferred game series didn’t win? I don’t mind that a bunch of sports and military shooters are up there, even though I’ll never play them.

If that’s his idea of barebone, that means Super Mario Odyssey and Zelda: BotW are pretty “barebone”, too, if you remove all of the “meaningless” collectibles from those games. If you did just the story for those games, they’d be pretty short, too.

Spider-Man was good. Tomb Raider and Assassin’s Creed not so much.
