Totally agreed, outside of a few select franchises (e.g. Elder Scrolls) AAA open world-single player games are dead at the moment
The single highest grossing entertainment product in the history of entertainment is a AAA open world single player game.
The two largest opening weekend revenue generators in the history of entertainment are AAA open world single player games.
They're not dead and they aren't going anywhere. I will admit they're horribly expensive to produce, so you're seeing fewer of them just due to the cost, but they're nowhere near dead.
Far Cry series
Assassin's Creed series
Just Cause series
Elder Scrolls series
Watchdogs series
Horizon Zero Dawn
Zelda, Breath of the Wild
Those are all ongoing series.
ETA: How the hell did I leave out the Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077?

I'm not trying to white knight for EA, but big budget titles like God of War are expensive and have to sell very well to make a ton of money.
Once a company has found a formula that works (ie Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed), they're gonna run it into the ground before low sales cause them to cancel the franchise or make changes.
It was much easier for companies to take risks in previous generations because video games didn't have such massive budgets.
