I think it is because ESPN will always focus on the leagues that they have the rights to.
It’s why hockey coverage has fallen in the past few decades, for example.
Certain events are too big to ignore like the Olympics and World Cup.
However, world championships and diamond league meets are much easier to give only cursory coverage to.
As for the dorms, if they are anything like the dorms built by most colleges in the last 15 years, I’m sure the athletes were quite satisfied. And I suspect that these are probably even nicer than the average new dorms.
Media coverage was definitely the biggest issue with these games but it’s something somewhat out of the organizers’ control.
The one thing I was annoyed by was how they did two days on tape delay and how the coverage jumped around between three channels on the weekends.
As for Noah’s complaint, it’s all about time zones. They were never going to put a weekday event in the late afternoon in the host city.

Probably better than some Olympic village accommodations. Sochi for example and countries said Rio's village was uninhabitable.
