The important caveat with EA is that the devs actually substantially expand on the early access experience. If they just spend a year or two doing minor bugfixes and then release the game it won't go over super well. Especially if they reduced scope during early access. I'm thinking of something like Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord, where the devs had described so many things they wanted to do with the game, but then didn't realize many of those goals between when it went into EA and when it released.
