Off the top of my head all these shows are animated the same way:
Invincible
Castlevania
the Tomb raider show
Korra
Even real anime is affected. The Evangelion rebuilds look so much worse than the original. Shinichiro Watanabe's new show Lazarus is doing its best, but unfortunately it's also a downgrade compared to Cowboy Bebop.
I don't know if this is a question of budget, time, technique, or something else.

Almost certainly technique, and mindset. Because it's very competent, it's just missing something.
Someone linked episode one of the 2007 Madhouse DMC, and it just has so much more personality, even in crappy Twitter resolution.
Also, totally different genre, but just to show a recent example, I was really impressed by the art of Kowloon Generic Romance. Now there's some personality. Even if a bunch of it is just nostalgia baiting, it still looks absolutely amazing.
The same madhouse that did the first season of one punch?
Which is also a good example that just having decent artists doesn't mean something will look good, with how jank season 2 of that was there was some episodes that, if i remember right, there was a different director heading those particular episodes or certain fight scenes or something like that and it was noticeably better than other parts of that season.

Yeah, wasn't trying to say everything is great, just differentiating from Netflix DMC.
Also, looked it up, looks like Madhouse did OPM S1, J.C.Staff was S2. Who actually also do some great work, but I guess not consistently.
