This has been an issue for more than a decade. Did you just start watching movies? The reasons for it have been discussed for years.
OK. Enlighten me.
Oh jez there's must be a million videos on YT that have touched on this topic. Off the top of my head:
- Style choice. The Bourne films are a good example of this. When it's done well it 'can' heighten the sense of action and urgency, but at the cost of clarity and focus.
- Lazy film making.
- Incompetent film making.
- Additional esoteric film geek reasons that are probably debatable and that I forget anyhow.
IMO it's most commonly a combination of 2 & 3 but the film maker explains it as a style choice.
I don't have much of an opinion on this but I will say that your explanation still fits just fine in his theory.
