I think that is true for the mass-market bestsellers, but I also think that we aren't as fussy/snobbish about writing quality anymore. This is true about many things besides writing, such as music, clothes, hairstyles,... People used to think that your aesthetic choices reflected your moral character, but not so much anymore, thankfully.
