CS2 and Alyx also happened, it's a thing now.

CS2 is a half-assed sequel meant to be the bare minimum necessary to keep Valve’s cs money printer going.

Completely half-assed. They only:

Moved the game to a new engine
Rebuilt the codebase from scratch because the previous codebase was 100% spaghetti.
Made sure the game feels as close to the CSGO experience as possible. The resident CS nerd Ropz said the movement is 1 to 1 with CSGO which is not a small feat.
Rebuilt the server architecture for better online experience
Changed how smokes work which has noticeably altered the meta
Redoing all the maps
Reworked the audio
Made sure all the skins can be transferred over and look somewhat decent.
Bunch of minor QoL things that they didn't need to do but did anyway

Fucking lazy devs.
