Didn't always used to be this way. Like >>148976778 mentioned, the crew caught wind of fans watching with their young children and thus felt obligated to make their primetime adult cartoon "safe." That's why past a certain point it becomes rare to see an episode with a TV-14 rating despite it premiering alongside Family Guy.
The other issue is that the writers chose to go the "Simpsons route" and make Bob's Burgers run as long as conceivably possible. That means a sliding timeline, narrative retreads, and a strict adherence to status quo outside of a couple updated background details sprinkled about like Bob's tattoo or Louise's loft bed. Personally I'm less bothered by the characters remaining stagnant* and more by the characters no longer being visibly expressive and by Bob becoming increasingly submissive and soft-spoken.
*all except Gene. I HATE what Gene has become
