Could it be a property of the transformative nature of those non-GenAI models? Using the data to create self driving systems or enhance existing works is adding value to the pool of work. It takes the copy written data and creates something new. GenAI, by comparison, seems to devalue existing works. It takes the same data and creates competing works at best, straight up copies at worst.

That's one highly plausible possibility, but I also think they could be something else e.g. people just not liking AI aesthetics.
