Why would he?
Check the ACM Amazing Randy video and the finished game. The Amazing Randy video has assets that have obviously pretty much survived 1:1 into the finished product, but are in now way shape or from up to their "intended fidelity". Considering the CA team worked with previous gen consoles as the baseline asset and then moved forward as different versions iterated, there should be substantial improvement in the fidelity field, not the reverse.
What you might wanna realize is the kind of people who'd care about this have probably spent around $250 for one publisher-enforced mediocre if prettily lighted venue and one completely publisher subsidized clusterf**k trainwreck venue. (How quickly we forget the company that 86'd 2010 bugfixes and balance patches was SEGA, not Rebellion)
This game does not exist in vacuum, especially where the publisher whom conveniently failed to alert consumers to said quality of last games is concerned, replete with review embargoes and playtesters having to leak actual publisher views of their own catalog.
You might consider it sperg-tastic nitpicky behavior, others might consider it catatonic marketing fatigue that rings all too familiar.
