>a million flies eat shit, they can't be wrong!
Yeah, sure anon, developers just refused to make PF2e vidya despite Paizo being incredibly open with their license because... uh, reasons.
2e got popular off of 5e hate, because the grass was greener on the other side. People buy in, it seems amazing, then they realise all the flaws after one or two campaigns and go back to whatever they were playing before. Notice how the core books sell amazingly well, but lost omens books sell like shit.
Now, the important point here is that if you're going to develop a game based on a ttrpg system, you aren't going to use a system you barely know. And the people who know 2e well are either braindead paizodrones, hate the system, or have a massive list of personal fixes and changes to it that would be so much effort to assemble that they might as well just start with a homebrew system and not bother with licensing fees.
