Well if you never played the PS5 or PC version I agree with you.
That's kind of the point isn't it? Especially with this generation. It's not like we're going to experience drastic differences in overall image quality and performance between consoles.
Games are going to be released with bugs and imperfections - that's just the standard today - especially with the pandemic situation. As a result - you're going to see minor nitpicks and differences between the console (and PC) versions. Many of these issues are simply missed config changes, etc.
People complain - devs fix the minor issues - and voila - mud textures (or AF setting) are fixed. We saw this same exact pattern with so many other games earlier when the consoles were released.
End state? Just play the game on your choice of console and enjoy it ...
99.99% of the population could give a rat's ass about the mud texture differences in this (or any) game.
