I think the problem is now everyone wants his innocent pulpy guilty pleasure to be deep, intellectual and post-modernist, and also everything tend to be politicized to please either the new left or the new right. And science fiction was historically a nerdy brainy genre, if not mindless lazy escapism. The '80s to '90s era of mindless action sci-fi is over, and now we are back to the pretentious stuff. But you also can't make it too complicated and slow because zoomers has low attention span.
