I don’t hate CGI but there’s been two decades of crappy stuff that doens’t fool the eye for very long. I don’t think CGI spaceships impressed me until the 2009 Star Trek film. And bad CGI still happens. Justice League allegedly being the latest example of when a human in a suit might have been better.
I agree, I think that a lot of movies from the 90s and 00s have aged so much quicker and more poorly than stuff from the 80s and earlier, and it really is down to CGI. Bad practical effects are so much easier to look at than bad CGI (see The Evil Dead for poor but charming practical effects, and Ash vs Evil Dead for poor, hideous looking CGI). It’s the same with 3D animation. I can watch Snow White which is from almost a century ago, and it still looks good, but Toy Story which has some of the best 3D animation for the time, is still obviously dated.
