Starting with your observation. . . and looking further. . .
Leg space is tighter and we are now so many tuna in a can. . .
And my biggest complaint. . . edibles are not only smaller, they're essentially non-existent. I remember back in the good old days, you were served a meal even on short flights. I recently flew to Austin for a friend's wedding and got a tiny bag of peanuts. That's literally peanuts compared to yesteryear.
