I'd just place most of the blame on the growing investor influence on stuff. Things that actually appeal to people no longer get made, instead you get what an investor thinks appeals to people. You get a reboot that clearly has no understanding of the original appeal, but on paper has all the attributes associated with success. There's too much money being moved around for a guy who knows a lot about money and nothing about the product to not show up and ruin everything.

Simply put all products now are paper tigers, designed to check all the right boxes and carry all the right buzzwords but no one actually wants. Everything is sleek, polished, highly market researched failures. Imagine a hero looter shooter royale extraction videogame that sells a couple thousand copies total, for everything forever.
