I'm 51 and have been a gamer my whole life, yet I've never before signed up for access to a closed beta. I'm wondering, is there anything beyond meeting the company's listed required specs that a company will look for or is it purely random when handing out invites?

It use to be if ya had more of their products you would get into the Beta's. I figured I was a shoe in for Shadowlands, but it's all based around random BS (like if you're a popular streamer, pre-ordered etc), these days.
OW2 is starting to throw a lot more red flags for me (5 man teams now, character changes like Orisa, etc).

Lack of HR would be part of it. Companies with problematic management probably don't have strong HR departments.

I find it rather strange that the first thing my prehistoric i7 CPU can't run is not a modern graphics heavy shooter, but rather a minor graphical update to a 21 year old game.

I wonder if some steam users actually do change countries more frequently than ninety days,

Umm, what bots? There has been no announcement that bots will be in the game.

I've actually been one of the minority waiting for well over a decade now for bots to make a return to BF MP maps and the confirmation that there will be no SP campaign (thank god, because a linear hand holding trout pond is not my idea of something worth paying for) is actually a step in the right direction in getting those bots back (ala BF2142).

Second paragraph down Eurogamer article:

There will also be the option of playing against AI bots, either solo or with a squad of friends.

This is better explained in this article I found.

In case you are like me and just wanted to know what the new mechs are without having to watch the video, they are:

Assassin, Flea, Archer, Rifleman, Phoenix Hawk, Vulcan, Annihilator and
Bullshark.

And no, they aren't using the original "lost mech" designs for the ARcher, Rifleman and Phoenix Hawk (although the Archer is very close to infringing).

Who is in charge of this mess? It's like someone who don't even know what Star Wars is, or had a very faint idea, had a checklist of "cool stuff bruh" he wanted in a game and just got'em in, never wondering if it fit the vast already plenty rich lore... Such a lack of creativity to do something new with existing tools, nah, let's just F the lore with new tools instead that have no part of the rich lore.

Hmm as much as I loved Baldur's Gate and its implementation of Vancian magic I think I'd rather have an Original Sin 3. Baldur's Gate is good and I would have loved to have played a Baldur's Gate 3 five or more years ago but nowadays I have much more fun with with the systems from the Original Sin games.
