It’s maybe the main reason why Dr. No is still the best Bond movie, IMO.
I like this explanation a lot. Lines up with a lot of my favorite things from the movies.

Idris is a cool choice, but I remain convinced that the best next Bond would be Judi Dench. Rocking suits, killing baddies, and wrecking cars and dudes.

Although I readily admit that my version sacrifices most of the cheap titilation and toxic masculinity the series is famous for. Which makes it...uh, Mission Impossible I guess?
