I'd say this is only half true. People still TRY and make creative things, I'd say the MOST incompetent devs are actually OBSESSED with making new things, it's just that they're super dogshit at their job, so when they try and be "non-derivative" they end up just making something that looks like a pile of random crap. I feel like I've seen hundreds of "alien" glowing rooms and hundreds of cities made out of quirky geometrical shapes, but they just lack charm and depth.

Like this picture from League of Legends, it's someone trying too hard to make something new and coming up with a goofy triangle bridge, I'd rather have Tolkien than that.
