The game is not in a healthy state for survivors.
Killers do not have to do anything for a 2k. They can just patrol gens, and engage in chases that last longer than 4 minutes and still manage to pull a 4k. Everything takes too long for survivors to do and there's no punishment for killers that proxy camp or tunnel now.
The game barely pulled 50k+ players on a DLC that was released today. The player count did even hit 30k+ concurrent players throughout the whole night.
The game is bleeding players.

Skill issue tbh…
As a Killer main, I can confidently tell you that no matter how good I play, and how short my chases are, some teams are just ridiculously efficient at gens.
You physically can't have a chase that lasts 4 minutes and get a 4k.

If you're having 4+ minute chases and the killer gets anything more than maybe an endgame camp 1K that's a massive survivor skill issue.
That's enough time for the other survivor to do all 5 gens. In 1 chase for 1 hook state.

Gens take 90 seconds with a solo survivor. Each survivor can work on their own gen. A 4+ minute long chase should be all 5 gens done. If survivors aren't doing gens while the killer is being led on a long chase, no amount of killer punishments is really going to save you there.

If a killer is in a chase for 4 minutes all the gens are gonna be done lol unless the survivors are completely useless.

as mentioned, 4 minutes is enough to finish all gens. and a 2k is considered a tie on the killer's side (lost mmr for 2 survivors escaping, won mmr for the other 2 dying. a net neutral).
You also mention the numbers on the dlc released today? But if you want to win as survivor i suggest you stuck to playing in the new map, forgotten ruins. it has the easiest most safest space for survivors underneath, with three gens and only 2 hooks + the free escape portals wich go on a second cooldown before the killer can follow you.
Sure, making the game easier for the 4 survivors might increase the playerbase, but not in the long run, it makes it pointless or masochistic to play killer (that's why you see slugging in the first place), and i don't think the game is for everyone honestly, an asymetric game already is a niche, and that's ok.1
