I think that's a reasonable explanation for why cyberpunk has gone into massive decline (and why attempts to make it nowadays can barely be classified as science fiction, cf William Gibson's recent work among others). And I accept that stuff about plausibility makes it more difficult to write really hard science fiction, especially if you want to combine that with a broad, space-operatic sensibility.

But I don't think the explanation holds for science fiction in general - space travel isn't really everyday technology, especially passenger space travel. Terraforming isn't everyday technology. And there's nothing stopping people from just being a little implausible. I do think there probably has been a bit of a narrowing of the field, and the grounds for being really optimistic and still plausible has been pretty restricted. But I don't accept that science fiction in general has been outmoded or left behind by the times. It still has just as much use as ever and just as much appeal, IMO at least.
