I think it mostly explained by that in earlier days most people who dived into programming did it because it interested them. Then it became one of most lucrative career path, and naturally it saw surge of people, who do not share same interests. Relative amount of people invested in dive bombing into meaty details dropped, but it quite possible that absolute amount have not declined by much.
And life is more enjoyable, for me at least, being able to branch out into multiple interests even if only one of them is the money earner. My hobbies all revolve around nature and art/creativity.

Yeah, it’s pretty difficult to find energy for personal programming stuff when your dayjob is programming stuff.
Gotta get up from the PC for a bit.
