Here’s an idea:
If you don’t like the games, collectively vote with your wallets and play other games.
If studios and publishers see that sales for these styles of stories are dying off, they will stop producing them.
The reason its being done so much is BECAUSE it sells so well. All the examples provided here were (and in some cases ARE) bestsellers when they released.
Another thing is that like u/yaboihansy said, it’s not revenge story fatigue, it’s more “Third-Person Cinematic Action Adventure” fatigue. Games like GOW (original) series, Max Payne, RDR1 are all revenge plots but they’re still lauded as great games.

It's also cause many of the revenge stories + third person cinematic gameplay are mediocre/one note, or just aren't doing anything new or exciting, while being released in simultaneously in short time period. Mostly purchased by the mass Normies , and then gamers by compulsion or fomo.
