They will be dead for a long time because modern gamers do not have the patience to wait for enemies to walk by or retry when they get detected.

Every open world action game requires stealth to be meta.
It's impossible to "play the game as intended" at higher difficulties.
It's been like that for 20 years
You see that enemy? You can ether face him directly, and he calls his buddies, and there are more attacks to defend against, or you backstab him into an instant kill and move on. Generally the action game you play only gets harder when the fight is on.

All of these games can be played without stealth and are just as fun. They are action games with stealth mechanics, not full stealth games. I know you're gonna come back at me with some "but full stealth games have good combat too" bullshit, and my counterpoint is that stealth games have actually in depth stealth mechanics as opposed to your examples.

Most modern action games have a stealth approach option

Only if you play it on normal.

>Tencent owns Ubisoft
Nah, they own like 17% of it both directly and through ownership of another owner. They talked about it when Ubisoft was on the ropes, but that hasn't happened yet.
