Given Todd’s history of being the first to take a chance on the SpeedTree software in the development of Oblivion, it is illogical to think that he would suddenly become a penny pincher when he now has a conglomerate behind him that has more money than God.
According to a leaker, the last time he laid eyes on Starfield it was a good-looking game. Keep in mind this opinion was based on the last time he saw the game.
More than likely Todd views Starfield as a passion project and I doubt very seriously if he will allow shabby procedural generation to be its downfall.
