Yeah, that is a good point. I think it's just not as big of a deal to kids like it used to be. I would imagine there are a variety of reasons for that though some might want to point to a single thing. To me though the powers that be are trying to figure out what they can do to fix it when I think they should be changing the way they think about it.

I do think the specialization to just playing 1 sport earlier is a factor that you mentioned. I have seen a lot of burnout from kids doing that.
There are benefits to playing multiple sports, but sometimes kids spread themselves too thin or risk injury, though probably less than people think. Like I said though, I think they are banging this drum more for nostalgia sake than any other reason.
