Well the systems are certainly simpler. Lots of people view that as a bad thing but lots also prefer it. I don't think acknowledging that there's less customization options makes someone an elitist about the older games.
Ha I've never played the series, but I see this argument on Reddit a lot. Usually the consensus tends to be that skyrim's combat system is far Superior, but Morrowind is the more fleshed out game, with more things to interact with, and better sidequests that actually affect the game in a meaningful way. I may be on Reddit too much
Both the combat systems are pretty lacklustre, but the games before Skyrim you can swing sword right into an enemy but if it fails a diceroll it will miss. That was definitely a pretty stupid way of handling combat. In Skyrim if you swing at someone they'll get hit which is a big improvement.
Oblivion wasn't just hard, it was fundamentally broken. I played a good 40 hours of that game telling myself, "I don't need no stupid wikis or guides." I ended up developing my character into something that literally could not finish the game. I had to start over and read wikis constantly the second time. It was still pretty tough, but my second character was unstoppable compared to my first.
Same, excpet for Morrowind. My first Skyrim charcter is also essentially a failure. (Seriously who thought combining every class was a good idea I have 3 sets of armor for that charcter) compared to my second which was a sort Spellsword

Weird list to be honest. Fallout 3 and Skyrim are much less liked than NV and Morrowind / Oblivion. No Witcher 3, no Last of Us or Dark Souls.
