most of the animation in the Golden Age of animation in the 50s and 60s were much cheaper once UPA won over the industry with its limited animation skills, which compared to Disney, WB and MGM (the latter was already closing its doors later on in the 50s), leaving expressive animation to be obsolete by that point. Even studios like Famous (including Harveytoons, best known for their Casper shorts), Terrytoons and the newly-formed H-B were dipping their toes to limited animation to cut their budget.
This is like what animation is right now from 2010s onward where your standard animation has to be done cheaper in Flash and outsourced in Korean territories. It's not just Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, American Dad or hell, Nu-KoTH even (despite the latter still having to have flash based from the previous, now defunct studio from the previous season). I mean, shit like Bento Box is a studio done way too stiff and cheaply for their adult animated shows and their pays aren't really that decent
