I want shorter games, with worse graphics, made by people who get paid more to do less.

Honestly that's an excellent summary.

Don't get me wrong BG3 is probably one of the best games I've ever played and I eventually want BG4 or whatever expansion/spin-off/sequel they want to make. However I waited 23 years between BG2 and BG3, I don't want to wait that long again, but I can wait.

But to your point I want good games. I don't need 100+ hour adventures. In general I don't want 100+ hour adventures. Those should be rare. I want games that I can finish (at a casual pace) in a weekend or two.

Portal 1? Braid? Both are short puzzle games that are absolutely fantastic.

Stanley Parable? Gone Home? Excellent story games. You can beat them in about as much time as it takes to watch a movie.

It's disappointing that AAA studios don't recognize this. I don't want a bloated game that takes 300 hours to experience most of it. I don't want a giant map. I want a good game. I want a small map filled with life, not a large one with soulless procedurally generated dungeons.

I'm just putting it out there that I have finished almost 3 different playthroughs and I would 300% purchase DLC.

If the initial game is a full game and satisfactorily so, I would gladly fork over more money for additional content.

DLC is not inherently bad. It's just the way most companies have done it is.
