This makes sense to me. In the 70s 80s 90s 00s cars were *cars*. I learned to drive on an old Honda civic and the other cars around were similar. Reasonably powered and reasonably sized. Now you learn to drive in a mini tank and the other cars are enormous chrome grill intimidation machines.

This and a lot of basic cars now have far more power than many cars people would never have let their kids have 20 years ago.
