I wouldn't say Roblox games have polish either. There's also a lot of weirdness that only adolescents and tweens would fully understand because in many cases it's made by those same kids. I wouldn't consider it a MUD either. None of the games I've seen so far even have RPG traits. It's more of a powerful sandbox than even Minecraft imo

I dont know anything about roblox, but atleast to me and my friends, muds were mostly about getting more exp/money/eq and killing bigger mobs or making exp faster. No-one ever roleplayed. They were like clicker games, but with extra steps.

Some are quite polished. Take a look at Phantom Forces, an FPS that plays as well as Call of Duty.

That's the exception and far from the norm.
