it's been like that for at least 20 years, OP, it's probably going to keep being like that because for some reason people just don't learn.

fandom is pure indulgence but when it comes to tropes, especially in fic and art, it's painfully obvious people are just copying what other people do, whether consciously (because it's low-hanging fruit and will garner them the most attention/reblogs/kudos/shares) or unconsciously (everybody else is doing it so clearly this is How We Do It and I must do it to fit in). whether this is good at all, nuanced, or entirely bad, well, that's up to fandom to decide but I personally think we'd all love ourselves and each other better if we tried something different instead of just going with fandom's status quo all the time.

On the other hand, I think the reason those things are popular is also because there's a large audience for them. Those tropes and things satisfy some kind of need or desire for a lot of people.
