No, that is your opinion. Most teams nowadays play gegenpressing. Look at how Turkey destroyed Croatia. Kovacic, Modric, Brozovic midfield was being overrun. Sitting back and hoping you don't concede is objectively harder to achieve IRL and in game. But it is doable.
Also custom tactics forum (i presume the downloads forum) is full of exploity tactics. That is why they all play the same way. Overlap, pass ball into space, high pressing, high defense etc etc
