I think there's room for both. I understand your question, but just because there's a trend towards one way or the other, doesnt mean developers should just go with what mainstream is moving towards (not that that's what you're saying.)

The main problem I have with highly configurable utils is that a lot of them don't have sane defaults (or any defaults), which might be ok considering most users want-to or enjoy spending hours writing custom config, but it's a big ask for things I want to use quickly, or just try.

So, imo it depends on the software.
