GTA5 was released in 2013. GTA6 is being released 13 years later. If there had been no GTAO, we would have had at least one or two more "modern" GTA releases in that window.

I would think so.
Considering for how detailed the world is, I can see them working for a long time on it (maybe not 13 years but longer than between 4 and 5).

I wouldn't be so sure. Modern AAA games are insanely big and resource-intensive. Just look at rdr2

We would have had story DLC like Ballad of Gay Tony and the Lost and the Damned GTA IV got as well as Undead Nightmare for Red Dead Redemption.

We still wouldn't have several full games is my point

They want money though, they would be selling content instead of shark passes or whatever.
