I don’t think those two statement are relevant to each other. Most people who buy games don’t finish them - regardless of their quality. Pick your favourite games and go to steam achievements and see how story achievements aggressively decrease in percentage gained.

From what I gathered, if a game has a high completion rate, it tends to be a niche series with a very dedicated audience.

30% completion rate is actually pretty high. I think 10-20% is a more common number.

I agree. While Steam isn't necessarily representative of gamers in general, and the achievements are sometimes buggy, you often see extremely low completion rates for games. Just look at Fallout 4 for example, just over 50% of people reached level 10, which is very early in the game. Whereas for Final Fantasy I, over 40% have beaten the whole game.
