this has been the case for a long time
groups like the beatles and the rolling stones are a fundamental expression of capitalism: music pushed ever-closer to the lowest common denominator, with the mantra "whatever it takes to sell tickets". musicians with the highest ambition and talent have been forced over the last century to lower themselves to producing barroom jams. The few works of real beauty that these servants have managed to produce in spite of their circumstances have been held up as evidence that everything is fine: "See, the free market can create art, too!"
all you are noticing lately is that, as the middle class is eradicated, musicians no longer need to bother to appeal to middle-brow tastes

most artists and bands that make a living are really mediocre and my theory is that most artists and bands that make a living went into music mostly just to escape wage slavery.

On the other hand, costs are lower than ever. Cheap audio interfaces now exceed the limits of human hearing. A cheap guitar sounds just as good as an expensive one if you set up right and use some good amp modeling software. Good sampled drums sound convincingly real. Affordable microphones sound great with good technique and recording environment. Unless you're playing live, or you live in a third-world country, the bottleneck is skill, not equipment.
