Not me if its filled with more woke retardation like 5 was. Also they need to drop the gameplay changes they made with BF1 going forward.

Nah, not really. Blackout was dying and Apex had actually worked with some shooter people in its downlow development (shroud was one, i think Doc even had some input before launch) so as soon as it came out these big players were already invested and they didn't even had to #Ad them. It was basically a BR gift from the Gods as Blackout was stagnant as fuck and PUBG was circling the drain pretty fast.

Not sure. Here's an article on it from 2019 though, just mentions Shroud specifically.
Former CS:GO pro Shroud helped develop Apex Legends’ weapon recoil
The battle royale very nearly had randomised weapon recoil.

Unless they are actually credited as working on the game they are nothing more than obfuscated PR. I would not trust anything streamers say as they are all bought and paid for by developers looking to become the next big thing.Not sure.

I think I'm going to wait and see on this one, 5 was so bad I'm extremely skeptical they can balance the game.
Bowl maps that don't force players out of spawn.
Tanks shitting on people from the spawn the entire game going 60-0 with no tools to deal with them at said range.
Idiot cap point in the center that everyone fights over rather than spreading out.
3D spotting (Removal in 5 was probably the best thing they ever did to the series).
Team balance (How do you leave this out?).
Retarded camera spawn system (Zooming in from space to spawn in, only to not spawn in because player you were spawning on died, so you get to zoom back out).
IR/NV vehicles that destroy everyone in broad daylight.
I don't have faith in them not fucking it up.

I don't see how.
Some company like to mass-ban cheaters accounts with warden, but they buy another copy of the game 1 hour after their account closed. (and give more money to the company)
Unless devs find a new way to deal with cheaters online, like some kind of voodoo magic in the netcode, you will never see a game without hackers.
I think private servers with good tools, may help but it's not gonna happen.

I mean sometimes they can hardware ban via identifying your mobo or harddrive information. (I'm a luddite forgive me terminology) But for the most hardcore cheaters, they actually can spoof even that. Does slow down most of them. I've avoided most of the mainstream shooters these days, so I dont know how bad it is. I know back in the day on COD it ruin a match/lobby for a bit, but that's why I miss admined private servers. But even in public was easy enough to just hop around.
I think people are more aggravated by them lately due to the popularity of pubg style last man standing because the matches are much longer and a bigger deal to lose or win vs bump into someone several times a map and just respawn.
Part of why in Tarkov they are such a huge deal because of the whole nature of losing your gear when you die etc not to mention also up to hour long games, easy for them to cost you time and capital.

I'm not naive enough to think that hackers will never exist. I understand you're going to run into occasional cheaters in an online world - hell, I ran into plenty during the Tribes 1/2, UT2K, etc. days. I still occasionally deal with an obvious aim-botter in Apex. The difference is that BF5 had 1 or more cheaters in literally every fucking game I joined.
