Maybe you think craftsmanship is better in the past because of survivorship bias. For instance, the 60s and 70s had a lot of great music come out of it, but have you ever gone down a chart of the hits from decades ago and listened to the lesser known artists? Lots of it is bad and utterly forgettable. Same goes with a lot of other fields. We only remember the best and forget about the rest.
