Maybe not for much longer but since the late 90s, surely. There's also just too much info in the public about how real spies operate. It makes the Bond concept pretty nonsensical. The character has to change to overcome the audience's disbelief.

I think it's ok to have different movie franchises that have different strengths

From my perspective it's the realism, seriousness, and lack of everything the franchise did for like 40 years that has successfully killed the fun

I also love Bourne movies, and I don't need them to be the same
