It's actually far more simple than that.
Infinity Ward isn't as good of a developer as Treyarch and Ghosts isn't as good of a game as Black Ops II.
Boom.
Maybe it's more about CoD being a money printing machine and can be developed with a "skeleton" crew for more profit. The incentive to invest in the engine comes when they no longer make a billion in the first 24 hours, but far less. When people no longer can be bothered to buy their crap, then they might change up and invest more in development. Until that happens, why bother?
