Name me one game were that worked. Even No Mans Sky which put a lot of work into it with a large variety of assets starts to repeat after you visited like 20 systems. And even if the models are different, it still is “oh, another desert planet, just with a slightly different color palette”.
I have not a problem with procedural generation per se, i just do not believe it works at scale. To stay with NMS as example, there is no reason whatsoever to explore the universe or even switch to a different one because everything is just more of the same. There is nothing new.
