Perhaps the novelty of the Internet faded away and access is now viewed in the same light as "dial-tone" was in the decades before--it's just there when you need it. The web platform evolved into a much more complex space. In the early days (late 90's) you could spend an hour in "HotDog Web Editor" and build a page that looked somewhat close to a mainstream website. Those days are long gone and most people now opt for platforms, templates and/or site builders, which make total business sense and are the right decision for most, but they lack the fun and excitement experienced by the early Internet "webmasters".
