It's basically been already pointed, but my take on it is the increase in the harem genre, which rather unfortunately has massively exploded, and not in a good way. After all, instead of trying to create one female character that embodies various traits that otaku guys want to see and have to compromise along the way... instead create multiple girls each embodying a trait. And of course, never have a clear resolution because then you're going to piss off the fans of the other girls. And if you piss them off, there goes your revenue from them.
And also unfortunately, in addition to the above flaws (let's not even get started on the 'first girl or childhood friend wins' plot), there's the fact that harems are starting to become the most associated with romance, no matter what else is going on in the show.
