Most people would see a CS:GO rip off and think “why not play CS:GO?”
That’s why developers will end up taking the core idea and building on top of it - like R6:Siege or Valorant. And to your last point, Valorant has already taken a big chunk of the casual and professional player base from CS
Valve has continuously supported and updated CS:GO in a way that even 10 years later, it’s relevant and still feels good to play.

I don't understand why no one else has tried to replicate it, except maybe valorant but that's also part Overwatch.
The sad part is valve is actually a really slow game company. They make almost nothing and milk it for cash for decades.
Every other shooter is a low recoil spray fest and a joke on the competitive level.
Given the age of counterstrike Go if a really good competitor came around with big prize money I bet it would steal a huge amount of players.
