I think part of the issue is the cost of those kinds of movies. I heard Jackie Chan talk about in an interview. All those great funny stunts aren't really due to anyone's amazing talent. They would just shoot as many takes as they had to. And that's just more expensive.

This might be the reason behind the disappearance of professional physical comedy. I mean, practical (special) effects have largely disappeared too because computer (special) effects are usually cheaper. Slapstick requires not just a sense of humor but also fitness and real effort. I didn't get the impression Jackie said there wasn't talent. Talent is part of the equation, but yes, he openly stated it still took a lot of tries to get right. Most of his movies feature failed tries at the end to give you an idea.

There isn't enough film in the world to get a good take of me doing what Jackie Chan does.
