While Morriwind is considered as one of the best TES titles, its absolutely not beginner friendly and will scare most casual players.
The combat system with invisible dice rolls is a joke at the beginning and its extra annoying. The dialogue system is overwhelming and complicated and there are basically no tutorials to explain the in-game systems. Some quests are not very well explained and without reading/watching a guide you will ty to solve the task via trial/error, or will search for a cave entrance about 360 steps after the fifth big tree on the west side of the riverbank. Also the UI is not very intuitive. Its truly for hardcore RPG players.
On the other hand Oblivion is a more plug and play experience. Quest markers, easy to understand systems, voice acting and nice interface. Its a watered down version, sure. The level scaling is also a weird design choice,but its just as iconic as MW.
It's down to personal preference. I agree with everything you wrote, even though MW was never my favourite.
My point was reacting to OPs comment that Oblivion is iconic enough to fully deserve a remake/remaster, its just for a slightly different audience.
