Why are small minimalist overworlds deprecated?

Smaller or big overworlds. It's the lack of planning for a big overworld. A small overworld is simpler because staff will not get bored, stop and can get it done in a quicker time. When it is a big overworld the staff think it will be easy, but once they get a few levels done they realize how long it will take and do not plan it out at all.

This is why any size of overworld (or any kind of development really) will fail or fall short of what it could be.
