Artists and especially producers love that shit because similar to standardization in fast-food it provides a "consistent" performance even in live productions - which is seen as "cheating" in music by older people, and I think for good reason. One aspect is "loudness war" aka compression, where subjective loudness gets increased at the cost of dynamic range, another (in)famous aspect is the increasing use of auto-tune (both the software itself as well as the general principle after which it was named). Thing is, there are objective metrics about quality. It happens to everyone, and every generation says the same thing: The music I enjoyed when I was young and impressionable was great, but all the stuff they make nowadays is crap.
