Trends that don't exist or are vastly overestimated?

Before the Pokemon Presents presentation I remember people discussing a HD2D Gen 5 remake. This made the people who really dislike HD2D mention how much they dislike the artstyle and how it's everywhere nowadays in RPGs. Despite only 5 games fitting in that criteria all made by the same studio (3 Octopath games, Live A Live, and Triangle Strategy) and there's the upcoming DQ3 remake. The Star Ocean 2 Remake is usually lumped in, but it's not an HD2D game, the backgrounds are full 3D.

Anyways what are some trends people call out or mention that just don't exist or that you can count with one or two hands?
