I feel like a big part of it is the masses have less money to burn on big sound systems nor do they have affordable spacious housing to fill with loud sound from the system they can't buy. My first jobs (1990s) paid largely for restoring large speakers I'd garbage picked from the neighborhood and components to drive them. But I was privileged to have a large space at my parents' home and neighbors far enough away I could enjoy the system without the police showing up immediately. Young people have way less buying power today vs. then don't they? It seems like the target audience today is living with headphones connected to smartphones in cramped living spaces riding a constant debt train.
