They did everything you hate back when you said liked anime. They still have bonkers shit today. There’s variety. It’s not like the entire extremely prolific animation industry of an entire country is moving in lockstep to deliver exactly the same product across the board.
Sure, there trends like the onslaught of bland isekai shit we had for a while but even the worst seasons of that had their gems. Heck, even that genre has gems; there a reason KonoSuba is well-regarded (and it’s full of people who would be utterly unacceptable in Japanese society).
You probably have the same problem that gets people to think that all music became shit approximately 20-30 years after they were born: They mainly remember the hits of their youth and forget that 80% of airtime went to shitty music back then as well.
