I just noticed game studios don't make artistic maps anymore, it's either a blue screen with graphical lines with some pointers or some low saturated, 3d terrain filled with pointers and fog. There are better fanmade maps than official maps now, is drawing a map that expensive or what is the reason studios don't bother making them look good

I think it's because maps in games now are very specific, like in Fallout or Skyrim or BOTW they show your exact position so the map has to be exact too... There's no room for artistic freedom like in OOT, where the map tells you vaguely which part of the map you're in. Even in OOT, once you enter a dungeon the maps become the same as what you've described, a blue screen with graphical lines.
The setting of the game plays a role too. RDR2 had a nice old fashioned map. It's not super artistic, but places of interest are written in handwriting as if the main character you play is filling in some details himself.
