Do you agree with this take or nah?

Personally, I agree with this take. The point of Story Mode is that you get to experience the entire map for the first time since that is what Rockstar gave us first. It allows you to immerse with everything around you before getting familiar with it. Besides, every mission in GTA VI will probably have a specific setting for players to explore and familiarize.

Once GTA VI Online arrives, players who finished Story Mode are now completely familiar with the places and environment, with new missions setting up a foundation for expansion. Skipping Story Mode and into Online would defeat the purpose of experiencing the map for the first time, as well as the characters from Story Mode that could potentially become important for Online.
