I've argued in other posts that the recession probably played a role as well. When markets shrink, producers inevitably turn to the most reliable and predictable types of shows.

AniDB allows you to search by year. Here's a list of shows that began airing in
1990,
2000, and
2010. (In all cases I limited the search to OVAs and TV series, excluded 18+ titles, and hid "synonyms.") You're welcome to draw whatever conclusions you wish.
The most striking feature of the 1990 list is the dominance of OVAs.

Personally I thought
House of Five Leaves was one of the best shows I watched in 2010.
