Yes, the entertainment industry is quite conservative now.  Not willing to take chances, or just let the creators do what they like.
I was reading an interview with one of the Zucker brothers, from Zucker, Abarahams and Zucker fame (Flying High, Naked Gun), and he said that a movie like Flying High wouldn't get made.  I've read similar things from other artists.  Today they want to be certain it will work, so if they don't understand it, they won't support it.

I wish I could remember the artist, but he said things were better when it was old stuffy men running the industry, because they knew what they didn't understand.

Today, they are sticking to known formulas, which makes everything so, homogeneous and samey-samey.  There is still good music made today, but it is not in the mainstream.
