It's a setting that makes it really difficult to turn into a movie without a bunch of exposition. For example, even in the original book, you wouldn't really know why they have Mentats instead of computers unless you turned to glossary pages.
I love the setting, but it just doesn't translate very well to the big screen at all, and I agree with you a long form TV series in the GoT style would have been much better.

If a movie just throws you into a new place of course that new place feels foreign and might be hard to read, but if I wanted a known thing I wouldn't go and watch a new movie in the cinema, right?
