Got contacted today and the assistant told me that this situation/problem is already well identified and in investigation.
He told me that probably, the next update will resolve this abnormality.

Excellent to hear! Probably won't make it to 26.1 as that's already in beta, but maybe 26.1.1 or at least 26.2 (which might take a while still…)

But they've been saying that since the 15 Pro/Max.

My iPhone 15 Pro Max experience has always been flawless, just like my previous 14 Pro Max.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max suffered from an annoying pixelation bug when shooting in ProRaw format. I reported this issue, along with other members, and it was resolved in iOS 18.3.

The iPhone 17 Pro Max introduced a new software bug, causing blurriness and exaggerated softness in images, mainly in wide camera. Telephoto camera has been really good to my standards.

I agree that this 'problem' will likely be resolved with iOS 26.1 or a later update. Changing the image pipeline and processing is a complex, non-trivial task.

More samples.

If you and the other user have lost all hope regarding this situation, contact Apple directly and return your phone.

Doing nothing won't resolve the issue.
