There was a point a few decades ago where we took the expert individual out of decisionmaking and favored whatever we have today. A director like spielberg today would never have had the independence he enjoyed early in his career. It just wouldn't be possible anymore because of the mechanisms we have constructed in order to ensure we select the most generally engaging product out of the pile. Engaging rarely means good, an example is netflix's new cash cow "The Kissing Game" which started as a terrible terrible movie covering every cliche you can expect out of some highschool romance movie. Panned critically of course, but what do you know, people like junk food and junk TV and this turd becomes one of netflix's most successful original movies, which they've turned into a trilogy. This is the Lord of the Rings of 2021.
