It is indeed, by my own subjective observation.
But that doesn't mean it's the fault of the engineers - and most likely it isn't.
Rather, the product people (who are also not dummies) basically realized that "dumber" results were more profitable, for various reasons -- most likely to do with "engagement" and prioritizing what 90 percent of the users will versus the needs of the other 10 percent.
