In fairness the scale of these games has increased sharply, and they have released other equally big titles in between (namely RDR). I'd rather wait until they're satisfied with the product than play something unfinished.
Look at it from console generations. The Xbox 360/PS3 generation got two GTAs (GTA IV even got two add-ons), RDR, and if you want to count it L.A. Noire. The PS4/Xbox One generation got RDR 2 and a rerelease of GTA V. I doubt it's about scale, they just wanted to milk GTA Online and didn't care about anything else.
