For a definition of moddable that boils down to "download random executable blobs from some anonymous Discord and let them completely loose on your device". With predictable consequences. [0]
Whereas Bethesda and Paradox (mainline strategy) games are examples of games that are intentionally moddable, with Cpp cores wrapping sanely defined content sandboxes.
Frankly I'd rather the C# style of modding didn't exist at all. It usually means the devs haven't thought about how mods should hook in at all, beyond "inject whatever you want and we'll break it on almost every update. Also, we don't have the resources to review mods so expect them to occasionally be/come malware. We take no responsibility even though we're literally the ones distributing the malware to you via our first party mod store."
