My impression (I'm not expert) is that the trend is rooted in the opposite - the crappy displays of cheap phones. The old fancy graphics of say Windows 7 could not render quickly or at all on cheap phones so with the advent of responsive design companies used flat design so the same graphics could be used on all devices including cheap phones.
I get the technical issue but I still find it a bit ugly.
