Nostalgia
That's definitely part of it. I think I also like to consider my pictures as representations of memories/moments, instead of chasing the fidelity to make them as close to reality as possible. My photos don't need to look 1:1 to real life - because they aren't real life!
And now phones are overcompensating, sharpening, airbrushing, and AI correcting photos. They've captured reality and kept going, soon exceeding reality
