Paint just has a tendency of obscuring detail, whether it's a literally few atoms thick or not.
Ligthing and camera angles can also obscure detail
Having said that, McFarlane no longer spends as much money on paint as they used to. People have been asking MCFarlane to include more joints and in order to do that and keep their toys relatively inexpensive, the budget is decreased on paint apps.
BUUUT... lines that don't have heavy licensing fees still get really nice paint. Like the Dune figures, Bloodshot, and the Five Nights at Freddy's sets.
Also also, Doomguy was pretty shit, while the Marauder figure was sublime. So their first shot at the Doom figures was just a misfire or rushed job.
