Skyrim is one of the best selling games in history. A huge chunk of those sales took place on consoles, where mod availability is limited. This whole concept of modders being the only thing making Bethesda’s games successful is quite exaggerated, IMO.
Mods might not make them successful, but they do make the games actually playable and enjoyable, especially as each new release has more never-to-be-fixed bugs than the last.
I’ve got a friend planning to buy Fallout 3 for PC, but no way they’d buy that for console after all this time. The experience just can’t hold up.

I wonder why are you being downvoted considering the first mods in any list are performance and bug fixes lol
