Money. I believe that's the reason you were looking for. And it isn't "movie makers" who are creating these films, it is studio suits. They know what a mass audience does/does not want to see and they engineer films around this. The "director" is practically nonessential (and that also explains the english "director" as opposed to say the french "realisateur" or "metteur en scene", filmmakers in countries outside the influence of Hollywood studios are actually responsible for 'realizing' a film, whereas in Hollywood they simply give direction tailored around what a studio-head wants). There is no creative process there, it is a business model. If that's the sort of cinema you want to infatuate yourself with, fine. But please refrain from labeling filmmakers who genuinely want to express themselves "crappy arthouse."
