It's because you seem to draw without thinking. Your lines have no purpose, you just keep throwing them at a wall until something sticks. You need to be more deliberate with your mark making. Just training your muscle memory by punching out 20 rushed sketches is not helping you. You should take it slow, think of the purpose of every line and mark you make. Just look at your latest sketch/study. 90% of those lines don't need to exist. They serve absolutely no purpose other than making it look visually unappealing and cluttered. Simplify, be conscious of what you're trying to do, take it slow. I know you said that you're more of a "Quantity over quality" guy, but honestly that approach doesn't seem to be working out. Why not give "Quality over quantity" a try now?
Your sketchbook is one of the only sketchbooks I regularly check here, mainly because I really admire your work ethic and determination. But if something's not working out, change things up, you'll make more progress in a month than you made in the past few years if you just think over these things.
Looking forward to seeing some progress, good luck.
