That's not a problem specific to "nowadays." It's just a problem that emerges very quickly with scale.
Once the craftsperson (developer/carpenter/artist/baker/etc) decides they want to grow the business, they're going to hire someone to take over some of the work. More often than not, that person is not going to care as much about the craft as the owner did.
Nobody cares as much as the craftsperson/founder.
