SV is a steaming pile of shit "open world" game. Ignore the terrible graphics, performance issues and bugs, as an open world game it just terrible. No level scaling, worse raids, back peddled on Legends capturing mechanics which would have at least made exploration fun, as well as no real incentive to explore. Plus the eventual level cap you will hit forces you to b-line to the next objective. In fact, the optimal way to play SV is to just head straight for every objective and not interact with the world at all.
SwSh on the other hand was designed to be a linear experience. As such there is actual substance between each stretch of the game, even if it is less substance than there was in older generations, it's still SOME substance. Plus the game in general feels more alive with the region having actual atmosphere.
TLDR: SwSh was made to be a linear experience and as a linear experience, it's passable. SV was made to be an open world game and as an open world game it's fucking terrible.
