I think one of the problems LEGO faces today when creating playsets, is that the detail in sets generally has increased.
Pic related was a great set and had tons of playability. But if it was a set we got today, we would say it lacks detail. More detail means a higher price and thus the set is less likely to sell well.
Of course this trend should also affect vehicles, but for some reason I think it's not quite as bad.
LEGO's decision to make biigger pieces was definitely stupid, but I think they have to be careful not to go too small
