/tv/ here. A lot of people post that Hollywood couldn't make beautiful 2D animated movies anymore even if they wanted to due to a lack of talent/skill. Is this true?

Yeah, it's true. Theyve been out of the game so long that most of the animators they do have, have never worked on anything as extensive as a full length movie. If they ever do decide to start making them again, then they would need to bring in the animators that work on cartoon shows, and their quality is subpar compared to a full length movie.

Some are still around but distrusting of new projects from big companies after being ditched again after Princess & the Frog.

Not at all, 3D is just way cheaper and faster since you have to make a single 3D model to use for all the movie instead of drawing thousands of individual frames. But the skill is definitely still here, there's some gems now and again

As nice as it was to have a 2D movie again, the skill in both clean-up and character acting is very obviously worse when compared to when theatrical 2D was in its prime. Like, you're just not gonna convince me Earth Blew Up looks just as good as Iron Giant, Beauty & the Beast, Cats Don't Dance, Lion King, Secret of NIHM, Land Before Time, Lilo & Stitch, Tarzan, Prince of Egypt and so on.

We're about 30 years removed from the last time theatrical 2D animation was common place in America. What do you think? TV work obviously continues to exist, but it's been heavily based on vectors/tweens and off-shoring.

Disney could (in theory) invest the $$ to bring them back if they wanted and it could still take them a decade to do. Snow White and the Disney Renaissance happened when Disney invested a shitload into training animators on short films + convinced their investors to fund a 2D cartoon feature. The artists don’t exist today and neither do the investors. The craft lives in Ghibli now.
