Wtf is Mattel doing with it? Why is it only Hot Wheels? Are we gonna get microfigure playsets like Mega? New licenses? Are they even selling?

According to Megaarchive on Reddit, we are getting more Hot Wheels sets this year, along with additional Masters of the Universe sets. Some of these will be display sets, like the Power Sword and Battle Cat in that style, though not remakes of those, while others will be playsets and vehicles. One of them is said to be a Fright Fighter. We will also be getting new Halo sets in the fall to coincide with the remake.

Right now LEGO is the toy brand to beat, so it's a natural thing for a rival business to compete. If I were working at Mattel I'd suggest kits that are large enough to accomodate various action figure lines.

You sound like a homeschooled kid, but like if it was still back in the early 90s.
I wasn't a fan of the tiny Masters of the Universe / other pop culture icon figures. Their proportions just irked me, but they were also FRAGILE... The clear Halo guys would have hairline cracks, and the claws on the Aliens alien just SHATTERED into dust... (twice, for me).

Rumor is, that when Halo does return, it will be in the scale of CoD.

It's because Lego Speed Champions and their bigger cars are massive sellers.
I actually like the Brick Shop models. Yeah Lego purists will cry about specialized pieces but it does give it a cleaner overall look. Also better wheels and tires.

Although I'll add while the Audi is really nice the Caddy GTP isn't as good as the Lego BMW and Porsche hypercars

Mattel licensed all a ton of shit to LEGO.
Their cars are shit and their "Masterbuilds" are overpriced.
They need to go back to muiltifigure sets like Cod but do it for stuff they fucked up the licensing on.
More marines and other figures for Aliens. Sculley and other aliens for X-files.
Sets of Vikings (possibly small builds like a blacksmiths shop or fishing hut.- and some "trolls" or whatever as bad guys.
Sell packs of Witcher characters.- not just 1 figure, a monster and a bunch of bricks.
like lean hard into the figures.
