When I fire up call of duty there is listed approximately 50 or 60 companies in the opening sequence, yet streamers only ever refer to treyarch. Then I fire uo Witcher 3, and there is credited nearly no companies by comparison yet it is one of best games to come out of the last 6 years. How does AAA game development work?

Well, the answers pretty simple, 50 or 60 companies where mentioned because 50 or 60 companies where involved in the production pipeline.
Maybe Activision has a penchant to outsorce a lot of development work.
As for why a streamer would only mention Treyarch and not the other companies think about it, assuming your numbers weren’t exaggerated imagine how long it would take to list out 50 or 60 companies, their involvements likely aren’t significant enough to warrant mentioning, nor would their audience care.
As for why Whitcher 3 is better, ignoring the subjectivity of your opinion, it possible that CDprojekt red had a better production pipeline (feels wrong to say considering Cyberpunk), or the projects scope was just smaller.
