Software development advances have enabled worse and smaller teams of artists to produce sorta publisher-wise good-enough CGI, in greater volumes than ever before.

It's essentially the same thing we're seeing in e.g. web/service/app development: An explosion in the number of people working in the field along with an explosion in the tool space "advancements".

I find it all kind of depressing.

Alternatively, you could see it as a good thing because more people can access a previously “elite” field. There are so many examples of this. The alternative is that fewer people who might be excellent can’t overcome the barrier to entry. The raw number of very good coders or CGI artists now is probably significantly higher now that more people can access the field.
