Game Freak's idea of balancing is relative to the Pokemon in question.
These stats on a quadruped are "good" and would be "OP" or "game-breaking" if the were made better. On a bipedal Pokemon these would be shit.
Let's take Meowscarada's stats for example — if they were Gogoat's instead it would be game-breaking. Game Freak DOES know how to balance their quality passionately-made games that are 100% worth the $70.
It's like how Aurorus not having Power Gem is to preserve the sanctity of balancing for VGC. This is actually a beautiful thing since it not only allows for a healthy metagame, it also encourages diverse play styles for even in a playthrough — and Game Freak wanted to encourage this even further by removing Meteor Beam and Ancient Power as that was encouraging stagnation of meta, which while is frustrating to many players this is actually for the better since it leads to healthier competitive gameplay. Also the Rock/Ice typing paired with Aurorus's stats, while making players weary, pushes players to adapt to an alertive "risk vs. reward" play style that their opponents can be caught off-guard by.
The next time you speak ill of modern Pokemon, please remember the time and effort that Game Freak passionately applies into the development into their games so that you — the player — can enjoy.
