What happened to the themes in 2009?

  • I’ve been spending hours trying out themes and without exception, all dozen or so that I like stopped getting updated around 2009, and all 50 or 100 that I despise are much newer.

    Clearly this is not a coincidence and something changed around 2009. Does anyone know what it is? Maybe themes started to be designed for phones rather than computers? Some change in WordPress policies?

    The new ones all have gigantic image headers, gigantic fonts, and gigantic empty spaces between posts, post title and text, and vertically on the left and right sides of the page, among other problems.
