It seems they have increased their output, and you have to sieve through more carefully. In many fields the overlap between the many books from the same publisher about the same topic can be pretty annoying, and this is now the case with O'Reilly as well, apparently. Just tried to find some good books in the data science/R/scipy space, and they have massively increased their portfolio there. Also, the prices seem to be much higher (inflation?).
Something that always bugged me and still is the case is that O'Reilly publishes many books with a general title, which then turn out to be basically tutorials for one specific library/language/ecosystem (especially if the technology in question is less popular, otherwise they would use it for advertising on the cover).
