The fear is totally justified.
For example, a game like Zelda OOT Remake doesn't have to move out of the way because it stands strong on its own and plenty of people will choose to play that instead or buy both at launch.
But if you're a new IP or something smaller, the success of your game depends on that initial market share and word of mouth. You should absolutely get out of GTA6's way to maximize your potential sales.
It just makes sense and is smart business strategy. 🤷♂️

"The fear of many teams to put their game in the same window as GTA is completely overblown"
