They are not re-imagined. It's a combination of a still on-ongoing gold rush (well, the end tail of it) and people pretending there are purely technical solutions to all problems.
Almost every single of those "interesting re-imagining" projects rather quickly rediscovers why traditional systems are the way they are, and end up being shittier versions of those.

I pretty much agree with this, though I'd suggest "most" rather than "almost every". Most scientific studies may fail to support their hypothesis also, that doesn't make them uninteresting.

The absolute vast majority (outside of scams, obviously). > Most scientific studies may fail to support their hypothesis also, that doesn't make them uninteresting. Scientific studies don't pretend to be re-imagining anything.
