Trends in paint are fun. Flat colors were last really common in the 90's, which is retro cool in its own way now, although then it was generally done with single stage paint and the gloss/wet look came from the occasional polish and wax, not a clear coat. Metallics have been the more popular choice for a couple decades now, with flats usually being reserved for base models and usually only in white or black. I think it's cool to see flat colors return.
