Why are starters so garbage now?

The decline in quality of pokemon design in general, but specifically starter design, has grown ever more obvious.

Starters, rather than simply being unique, interesting, and cool creatures, are now specifically hip and relatable creatures. They have to be based on a hip dream job or fun activity or recognizable object or cultural cornerstone. They seem less like real fantasy creatures and more like corporate amalgamations of the most baseline vanilla cultural concepts one can find.
