I think modern gaming is better than it used to be in some ways. While zoomers are close-minded and won't commonly accept older, "clunky" or non-standard controls and camera schemes, they do seem to appreciate difficulty, competition, challenge runs and so on.
Developers also seem more willing to trust audiences with harder or more complex games, compare nu-DOOM with the kinds of shooters we were getting in the early 2010s, or even things like Prey with Deus Ex HR--the games from back then were way more in the pseudo-realistic, slower-paced, simplified CoD mould than they are today. Even stuff like Baldur's Gate 3 is a full-blown CRPG where things like Dragon Age: Origins still seemed to compromise to a degree.
