Six years of hype, it never going to live up too. Team Cherry did this to themselves.
It is hard to make a sequel to the best game of all time, unless it is the new best game of all time. I'm not sure the extended dev time is the dominant issue here.
It doesn't have to be the best game of all time. It just has to be at least as good as Hollow Knight.
Even that would be difficult for any developer.
True, but some pretty good clones have come out since Hollow Knight, so it's not impossible.
