Neither the first or the second picture are remotely acceptable in terms of quality. The file is too low-resolution to be fit for purpose, no matter how you view it.
The radio silence on this from WOTC is also a very poor show.
Who from WotC do you want to hear from on this? From the way you're speaking, it sounds like you want a press conference.

Always study & sharpen philosophical razors. They save a lot of trouble.

I matched Davyd's image up on my screen nearly 1:1 and that's showing a browser-based zoom on the full image of 160% as far as I can tell. Any image will show blurring when magnified by a browser. The full image is 4096x2918.
To be fair, it's not possible to get to the full image without extracting it from the site -- clicking the map should probably just load the file, rather than using the pop-up image viewer.
But, once one right-clicks it to get it in a new tab, then gets the browser to show it at full scale (clicking on the image in my case; I cannot speak for all browsers), it's ok. The text is generally legible, even though my glasses are overdue for a replacement. There's some text where the contrast is poor, and that is hard to read. If I use the OS's zoom (faster and easier to control than browser), it gets legible long before the quality gets bad. (This is about three steps in with browser zoom, and I don't see any pixilation.)

This would be a device/browser/settings constraint as different platforms render/display images differently. For example, chrome and firefox both open the image either in an overlay or new tab/window depending on how I click it (left vs middle). In a new tab/window the zooming is constrained to differing degrees between firefox and chrome. On Safari if I middle click it prompts me to download the image.
USAGE: Page 133. Under “The Great Inventor”, Deryan Kaya is described as “a gnome inventor, artist, musician, and polymath.” This is incorrect, as a polymath is described as such by the fields of study they have mastered. It should read as something to the effect of “Deryan Kaya is a gnome polymath, excelling in the fields of invention, art, and music.”
CONSISTENCY: Page 157. Adventure Gods Long Forgotten features an editing brain-fart (NB: this is a technical term), namely, the adventure flavor text reads: “Pacify a quartet of troublesome deities.” Further down, under “Encounters” heading, it reads: “Four wayward deities are causing the disturbances.”; it then goes on to list and describe FIVE deities (Motanwe, Nimbus, Korus, Sholoban, and The Hukh); following the above under “Conclusion”, it reads, “If three of the five deities …”
SPELLING: Page 201. Map of The Unrolling Scroll misspells “Rehearsal Room” as “Rehersal Room”.
So I ordered the Physical and Digital bundle. For both Heroes and Adventures. Got the digital stuff. No Physical books have arrived. I tried a support thing to no response. When you buy the bundle but dont get the Physical- where is the support option? And I am in the UK so international. The help pages give no contact details, AI tool gave a form which appears to never get a response from. First ticket raised was days ago to no response.
You should be able to check your order status on dndstore.wizards.com.
Support tickets are answered in the order they’re received, so the wait time can vary depending on how many tickets are ahead of yours. They’re also answered during regular business hours in the US, so you’re not likely to get a response during weekends or holidays.
