On the other side the water and energy use has been trade off for time use. Living in country with plenty of fresh water I might prefer to waste some for faster cycle time. So in sense things have actually gotten worse.

It’s not really about water use. Dishwashers require very hot water, so less water directly translates into dramatically less energy use.
