Its not like games that tried to be realistic before didn't exist and not like games that purposely go for a non realistic style now are not a thing. I'm pretty sure we have more pixel style graphics games coming out now yearly than when they were actually a thing.

We have more indie pixel games coming out yearly than all of the original consoles put together during their lifetime I'm pretty sure.

I wouldn't be surprised. You probably have young people making games that have nostalgia for games made in the style of 8bit, more than the games that were made that way because of tech constraints.
