Someone please explain to me why a game after selling millions of copies shouldn't be open sourced

Absolutely. But that's what drives game development and everything under capitalism
If that was true pre-orders wouldn't be a thing, especially after so many half baked releases. And the prices for new releases would not have gone up so much in the last few years.
By and large gamers are not a patience kind. They want the new thing not the old thing.
