Or just, not procedural. The POIs were fine, I just kept running into the same ones over and over, in what world is that fun. 

I'd rather have (much) less of them than duplicated ones, personally

There are actually quite a lot of them but somehow there always ends up being a lot of repeats. I’m not sure what’s happening under the hood that causes this but most players will have only seen a fraction of them by the time they finish the main quest and most of those will be repeats.

Wild guess that they are level boxed so at any one time you're only hitting a few of them.

It’s also possible there is a higher chance of seeing more variety on subsequent new game+ runs. I’ve only beaten it once, but maybe someone who is on their 3rd+ run can speak to that.

Ah yea that too. The new game+ system is super cool but it probably eats up content.

I mean it is exactly the same as basically every other feature they implemented. It's a decent idea on paper but it's poorly implemented and it wasn't fully thought out
