This is a highly developed product. There's not much more to do. To make it worse you'd have to remove existing features or devise new features that disrupt the existing ones that work properly. Those, of course, could easily be removed when the problem is observed.
There are some things that could be fixed. Hopefully they will be. However I'd say that a bigger threat to OOTP is the probability that with each new version the age of the average purchaser increases by one year.

There are things I really disagree with in their message, but the logic is really clear and straightforward. There are multiple things that can be bad, and something doesn't stop being bad just because its absence alone can't prevent other separate bad things.
It's like saying...
"I was already going downhill as a baseball player due to aging, and then my leg got amputated."
"This is illogical. You say you were declining as a baseball player for some time. If true then it's happened when you had your leg. Then you say losing your leg will make the supposed decline worse. I don't see your logic."
i.e. the leg alone wasn't enough to prevent the other bad thing, but the leg getting amputated will still clearly have an effect.
FWIW I personally figure that this is probably it, this is probably the end of OOTP and we'll never see another version, but Markus & his team have given us more than enough to remain a staple of my leisure & hobbies for years, if not decades. They owe us nothing. I'm just sad to see this whole thing go.
And hey, if I'm wrong and there's an OOTP 26 and it's another step up from 25, then I won't be too upset about being wrong.
