Its because we have reached a point where people are too stupid to know that Hollow Knight was not the first Adventure Explorer game, that Metroid did not copy HK but infact came before HK, and that Castlevania did indeed exist.
People these days be thinking Fortnite was the first Battle Royale style game. They don’t even remember it was originally a Tower Defense style game before hard pivoting to copy PUBG. Even PUBG wasnt the first BR style game.

Watch the trailer. The backgrounds are all at min an homage to HK, and the foresty ones are almost straight greenpath / queens gardens
Its not “they copied the genre” the game specifically has art direction like HKs style
TBF Fortnite pivoted to battle royale so fast that it basically never even really tried to still make that a thing.
Still weird if you think about it tho.
