It sounds like you're upset a game with mass appeal has mass appeal, because the very things you don't like about the game are what make it popular: you can play it on your phone, you can bling out your character with various skins (paid and unpaid), it appeals to the group of consumers with the largest amount of free time (and who set the trend for the gaming industry as a whole), etc.
That's how Fortnite got popular, and now it's using the spotlight it grabbed to innovate in the storytelling space, but all you want to talk about are the very things that end up being true about nearly every single AAA game released by any major studio in the past 5 years.
In other words, you sound grumpy, and you seemingly would rather take away the imperfect toy (and completely ignore its storytelling style) than see the incremental progress it's making as something of potential genuine literary value to be nurtured and grown.
