Why were space adventure novels so bland and militaristic during the 2000s?

It seems like before "The Expanse" novels came onto the scene most American space adventure was mostly bland military gung ho stuff often with a heavy handed political bent published by Baen.

"The Expanse" has epic space battles and space marine stuff but unlike the Baen stuff it is set in an exciting new sci fi universe.

Since "The Expanse" showed up there has been more space adventure written by American authors.

Why wasn't American sci fi more creative during the 2000s?

Couldn't we have gotten the book equivalent of "Mass Effect" during the 2000s?

Why didn't American society create sci fi writers who could dream up new and exciting visions of the future during the 80s and 90s?

Why weren't American authors dreaming of space and the future during the 2000s?
