Yeah, I see that. But I guess that has more to do with how music is produced and "consumed" nowadays rather than the artists themselves - a couple of decades ago it was really tough to get signed by a label, whereas now anyone can produce hits in their bedroom. This has, imo, led to a more "decentralised" music scene, and also to more focus on singles rather than albums. The fact that media outlets, including radios, are corporate-owned definitely doesn't help too.
I feel like that should produce more of those songs. Less thumb on the scale powers to hold you down.
Old songs did a great job of mixing the meaning into the songs. Most singers don't write their own songs. That might be a issue and auto tune can turn anyone into a singer. I used rock and rap as an example due to them usually being more hands on.
