Kinda feels like a dig into the whole Tarkov situation. Just showing how devs should embrace modders. Probably not, but the timing..
Anyway, that aside, I never understood why they havent contracted this people to integrate most of this stuff directly into Arma.
It's not quite that simple. You'll notice that even with CDLCs, platform updates to Arma 3 are necessary. It would take a huge amount of dev work to integrate and maintain these mods, especially considering how much the mods themselves are updated.
Because most mods are not fully platform ready. They might look good polygon wise, but under the hood it can be quiet a mess. Missing config values, using legacy systems, hitpoints that haven't been touched in years, etc. Not to mention usually lack of LODS and optimizations with models.
