I think you are slightly exaggerating. The main issue is the gatekeeping of academia leading to people of a very specific type (pretentious faggots) to become composers who make severely unpleasant music and the fact that composers have less creative avenues to stretch their wings like composers did when Opera which allowed vast stretches of musical thought was the most popular medium. If they compose for films, they are forced to make more textural music as that's what's in vogue for film music and orchestral scores are not as common unless it's a existing franchise. If they compose for videogames, they have to generally make simplistic loops inspired by popular forms of music and have little ability to write more creative works. As far as concert music goes, it's no longer feasible to make any money with a new instrumental work specifically because of the clique around contemporary music and how tied it is to academia. Which also leads people to be weary of new music and prefer to stick to the established classics.
