I remember thinking in the early 2000s that more polygons = better graphics

Well, back in the day, games were really held back by their lack of polygons, and a game with more polygons could look significantly better.

In these days, though, we have enough polygons to make things look fantastic, so now it comes down to artistic skill, effort, and taste.
