Landscape naturally changed since everyone who was playing MMO's a decade or two ago was younger, now there's a lot of people that are older and work jobs, so they don't mind paying more money to skip the grind.
The game industry is profiting off of impatience, there's a fine balance between maintaining the illusion that the carrot is worth chasing and giving cash doors to walk through to get closer to the carrot.
But the days of living worlds and forward-thinking designs aren't long gone, it's just that we're not in that phase of the cycle, we're in the morbid phase where vultures are picking at the corpse and finding new pieces of meat. You won't revive that corpse (the way MMO's were), but maybe a new cycle will begin with the whole headset thing, or some other form of game design.
Anyone who is getting hyped about "the next MMO" that is really just same old same old is literally just that girl hoping "this new nightclub will be better than the last one". Nope...
