That's not on the devs, that's on the marketing team, & the point of those super early trailers is to hype up investors. Most devs think it's just as dumb as we do.
Most people have no idea how software or game development happen. Devs get blamed when the lion's share of blame is usually on management over-promising and requiring delivery on an impossible schedule. Just beginning coding without a well thought out end goal is not really a good strategy. One other thing that many devs will not admit to because their jobs depend on it, but they do not know how to do everything that is required for a project. 'Lean' and 'Agile' teams only work if everyone is very competent at their job and that usually only comes with lots of time. Otherwise the teams need to be larger but the studio is often more likely to cut a person and try and find a person that they think can do the work of two.
