I agree with what your saying.
I grew up in the 70's, and I like to listen to music from that era or earlier.
Here comes my "rant"-
For me, the word "autotune" is a four letter word.
It sounds fake and overly smooth, like a homogenous mix of man and machine, it creates sort of an in-human sound. It is quite stark.
Dont forget, autotune is not just for vocals, it can be (and often is) used with individual instruments as well .
Lets not forget about listening groups, used to determine what song (and parts of songs) are the most enjoyable to us.
The new trend (about 20 yrs.), is that music and music "stars" seem to be manufactured.
Before all this nonsense, things were very simple-
"the cream would rise to the top".
I'd say 95% of todays music (if you can call it that) has autotune all over it.
From a pessimistic point of view, one might say that we are being lied to..........................
