All I'm hearing is that the game itself is succeeding there (Gaming)

I think Marathon has indeed succeeded in being fun… for a very particular kind of audience.
Which is what Bungie should have expected. Perhaps they could have hoped that somehow the extraction shooter genre would see a boom like the battle royale genre did, but the nature of the genre made that less than likely. If their bet on Marathon hinged on extraction shooters becoming mainstream, they lost before they even launched the game, and that's that.
