This 100%. The issue is not CGI in general, it's cost cutting and extremely time-constrained CGI. Most people would be surprised what is replaced or reprocessed with CGI in everything they watch. To do things right, takes time. And in many cases it takes the on site production team doing some things as well to assist. If the VFX team has references for things like lighting angles and on-scene pyrotechnics, then they can make things blend a lot better than if they're spending time trying to match after the fact.
