This is all that needed to be said. Aside from all the other many examples from the post-90s, Upgrade is basically the formula the author is asking for and it came out the same summer this article was written. Hollywood still makes plenty of these types of films, probably more now than before thanks to helicopter money from streaming services. Take Triple Frontier, Extraction just from the last two years. I'm not going to say those are particularly good, but they're exactly the formula the author claims no longer gets made.
The actual difference is these types of movies are no longer tentpoles.
