Most writing and VA in games is embarrassingly bad.

Yeah but TBF most games are bad. If you filter out the shovelware you are left with games that are actually putting in some effort. Usually the VA and writing are at least passable in those. But many genres simply don't value writing or VA polish very highly. A story-heavy game like Slay the Princess lives or dies by its writing and voice acting. An RTS like Total War where most of the voice acting is unit barks doesn't need it as much.
