Exactly this, the summer Olympics have gotten too big and too expensive to host in one city. The only reasonable path forward is to spread it out to multiple cities or even countries. Maybe the Olympics should be awarded by continent (sorry Australia). Things like building an artificial river for the whitewater course is a ridiculous waste of money. They can host events like that where a natural river can be used. There are Olympic caliber venues all over the world that could host an Olympic sport at any time with little modification, that should be taken into consideration when a city bids to host an Olympic event. I fear the only way things will change is if the world refuses to bid on hosting these things. Then the IOC will have to get creative if they want to see their corrupt legacy continue.
