it depends on the content. a linear story should absolutely not be open world.
A survival sandbox literally can't be anything else.
The only "open world" game that's been a linear story survival sandbox that I've seen do it well is Raft. And that only works because of the medium of it being an open sea where the players can wander, then move through the story at their leisure.
