The crediting issue is a much bigger deal for individual developers. Plenty of these small studios shut down after shipping. Now you have a several year gap on your resume and you can barely explain what you did. These gag orders are incredibly damaging, but game devs are a dime a dozen right now, it's really hard to push for a higher bar when someone else is willing to do the work without caveats.
