It definitely has.
I think mostly driven by the manufacturers naturally wanting to keep their products identifiable with logo and display art, but still fit on all the instructions and advice now either mandated by law or needed to divert civil claims such as when some idiot thinks that toilet freshener might be also just fine for freshening ones breath.
So, for example, by the time all the requirements such as listing of ingredients, countries of origin, contains nuts, etc., that are now mandated by law, consumer demanded or as protection against civil claims are on the label the essential bits such as "Keep refrigerated after opening" go unread as microscopic in a jungle of useless information.
Is not just domestic products but things like paints where for some such as linear polyurethanes it is a now mission to actually find among it all the instructions for the hardener to base mixing ratio on the label that one needs just to get started mixing it let alone apply it.
