Well, maybe a huge mistake from a business, milk-the-cow-dry standpoint. But from a gameplay perspective, there's a fair number of players who enjoy playing on multiple maps and wouldn't keep playing a game with a single map.
A case in point being myself and my close group of friends, who still play many hours of PUBG every week and also buy the season passes. We don't play Fortnite or Apex Legends, which only have one map (among many other differences).
There's plenty of room for more than one way of managing a large multiplayer game, thankfully. I'd dread a future where game-makers only try to optimize for financial success and are afraid of ailenating _any_ part of their customer base. Thankfully, there seems to be a point where things shift back out of equilibrium when too many game companies try to do this. Fortnite actually being a very good example.
