Exactly.
I have a friend who binged the entire live action series in preparation for RotB. To be clear, he's not a Transformers fan. He just likes to be caught up when revisiting an ongoing series in theatres.
And his big question to me, the TF fan of our friend group, was "what was the story...
TFO's failure is kind of legendary due to how badly it bombed, and marketing is a huge part of that (though I'd argue not as big as some people want it to be).
