That's definitely part of it. I think I also like to consider my pictures as representations of memories/moments, instead of chasing the fidelity to make them as close to reality as possible. My photos don't need to look 1:1 to real life - because they aren't real life!
And now phones are overcompensating, sharpening, airbrushing, and AI correcting photos. They've captured reality and kept going, soon exceeding reality

IMO early digital cameras are the best. 640x480, no dynamic range, red eye galore.
CRD put it best:

Maybe it’s weird of me, but I think most photos look better with older digital cameras. I don’t need my home pictures looking 4k-crisp personally
