IMO they fixed some rare and serious bugs, got some needed performance gains out of terrain modification, ... and then left in a bunch of bugs as well as introduced new ones.

They also weren't the players expectations, they were Iron Gates stated development road map. Between bugs and covid and a roadmap being against Steams terms in the first place they temporarily abandoned the road map, which turned out to be permanent.

As for bugs vs content: depends on the bugs. Bugs with the core game engine - games saves, not crashing for predictable reasons/coding errors, terrain edits were never going to be performant enough, etc - are vastly different problems to "system variations" etc. In short they're talking about a different level of stability vs the problems Valheim had on release. I'm not convinced the Valheim team has even considered this level of stability at all yet.
