Similar bland uniformity we saw 100 yrs ago.
There used to be a dream in the 60s in my country where everybody would be free to design and build there our home. The public would kind of vaguely become their own architect.
The public on the whole doesn't spend years in art school discovering what makes something attractive and pleasing. They don't value paying extra for looks and meaning, they just go all in on functionality and features.
People are limited by their taste and limited by what builders can easily and cheaply build. This was always to be the outcome when economic and political forces took over culture. It's only really those with a creative desire or faith based desire for something attractive that are willing to spend on it.
