This has to be some of the most retarded sperging you've done. I've occasionally run searches for coop games over the years, and there has been a substantial DROP in the last 2-4 years. And they're something that AAA studios have rarely ever chased. And I just did another search, barely anything worth mentioning that's come out in the last year, save for obviously Helldivers 2 and BG3.
You know what trends AAA studios chase a lot? 3rd person shooters. Hero shooters. Battle Royales. MMORPG's (less so in recent years). Call of Duty clones. Casual "playing house" types of games. MOBA's. Minecraft stylized shovelware. And maybe not AAA studios, but there have certainly been a fuckton of sidescrollers and pixel-graphics games. As well as clones of games that appeal to mobile markets.
And now we have multiple Stray-like trends coming out, where you also run around as a cat. (Which admittedly, I don't find entirely unappealing, but it is a fantastic example of the silliness that happens when trends influence creativity.)
