are you referring to morrowind being dumbed down compared to daggerfall or oblivion being dumbed down compared to morrowind. Either way it isn't because some people don't have free time but because the developers at Bethesda (particularly Todd) thought it would make the game more fun. Keep in mind that during his Skyrim keynote in 2012, he mentions that his main source of inspiration for what is fun is instant gratification games like peggle.
