And Sanderson is a much, much better writer than Kevin J. Anderson.
The only thing 'Dune' about any of those prequel books were the character and planet names. It was basically fan fiction before fan fiction was a thing. Which isn't a surprise since Anderson made his name writing EU Star Wars novels

Those books were based on Herbert's notes, so I'd say they were less fan fiction and more what Benioff and Weiss did to GoT after they ran out of actual book material.
I certainly enjoyed the "House" books the most, primarily because they dealt with familiar characters from the first book.
