A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Funny thing is that I am an software engineer.
Anyway, you might be right, but you also might be wrong, it entirely depends on how they have implemented it.
They are from a gameplay perspective the same game. That ubisoft possibly does the sadly very common "to win the marathon you have to sprint faster", which makes it take a lot of work to spit out something very similar would not be surprising, but also does not change the fact that they are imo too similar.
I mean I'm not entirely in disagreement with your original statement. I don't imagine they change much about their gunplay at all, apart from adding some new mechanics each game, and they likely crank the core out quickly by either reverse engineering, refactoring or just copying the whole thing in.
My main point is just that the "coat of paint" which they do indeed throw over reused mechanics probably takes a whole lot of work. It's perhaps lazy thinking, but not lazy design exactly.
