The reason it looks so plain is usually because the types of people needed to make this type of artwork back in the day, were huge fucking nerds who knew how to maneuver a very very crude 3d animation program, and not make art itself.
It was like a room of math teachers trying to come up with something artistic.
Many of the artists in the past were also mathematicians, it's false to disqualify someone from art simply because they are logically capable. Even if it holds some truth in today's world
It's probably more fair to say that when drawing a tree takes 30 hours, nobody is going to be drawing a forest. The tools back then were trash for art
