Being optional means jack shit, it is still an option that millions of people are gonna chose for hundreds of hours.
And if we are being honest here, even the stealth has always been mediocre in bethesda titles so it's not like gunplay is the only weaker part of the gameplay.
I understand you want to play it as shooty shooty or sneaky sneaky game. On a guided path.
But if you will look at various developer diaries released you will notice they treat it like RPG, with endless possibilities. With guided path just one of them.
In previous games, you can go to jail, serve your time or break out, kill main quest giver, become vampire, find a cure or feed on people, get married...
So much stuff to do. Yet you compare it with games of limited scope. There is good reason why they have stuck to this engine.
You might not want to do all this stuff but there is audiance for RPGs. For whom they cater for.
