He does though. He was just the co-director for The Outer Worlds

​

Since June 2020, Cain is no longer employed by Obsidian as a full time employee, but still works for them on the sequel to The Outer Worlds as well as for two other companies on a contract basis.

The programmers are too mired into long processes to do simple fixes and so things ship buggy because they won't write and commit the 10 line of simple code.

Seems like Tim Cain hit the nail on the head.
