For instance, Assassin’s Creed Origins had subtitles turned off by default and 60% of players turned them on.

Since I started playing (and watching stuff) with subtitles, I realised just how much I’ve missed from poor sound mixing.

Now think about all the visual stuff you're missing while reading subtitles.

This feels like a self report on having really bad reading speed than like an actual criticism of subtitles

Huge agree. If I can watch Redline and Dead Leaves in their original language with English subtitles first and miss nothing when compared to watching the English dub after the fact, I think I can catch pretty much whatever most movies will throw at me just fine.
