What you believe is irrelevant. Devs said the changed stuff is much smaller and big patch is because of Cryengine. If you don't agree with that.. well tough luck. Go cry in corner or something.Updating entire paks unnecessarily may well be part of the problem, but I don't believe this is the fault of Cryengine, and nor is it insurmountable. Almost every game engine uses archives of some type, and it's absolutely possible to delta patch them. Pak files are just zip archives, and I doubt very much they are impossible to patch in this way.
Patching can be a tricky business, and studios often have to build tools to do it efficiently. The crude and hugely inefficient method they are using here is, IMO, testament to one more thing they haven't yet got in order.
Also the so called Day 1 patch was only important for console release because they needed to send a "Release" version to Sony/Microsoft 2 weeks before release. For Steam this day1 patch was actually just part of the normal game download as Steam lets you keep working on your game until last minute.
