Can someone please explain to me why game like Red Dead Redemption 2, which took over a decade to make has amazing graphics and not 2010 graphics?

Because the rendering engine and assets are being worked on as the game progress. It’s not like they do them up front and then just stop years before release.
I’d also like to point out that game assets aren’t made at the quality that you see in game. They’re often made at a higher quality and then that quality is toned down as appropriate for various graphics settings. It’s actually not hard to make a 3D model of a character that has millions of polygons or 16k textures if that’s the only thing in a scene even though that would be unrealistic to see in a video game where you have thousands of other things to be concerned about.
