I noticed this too, I assumed it was a style/trend thing as things tend to cycle in and out, but could also be about regulations and/or location. House I grew up built in the 50’s had built-in ceiling lights. House I moved to built in 1990 didn’t and I saw that as “this is the new way, ceiling lights are old fashioned”. Now I live in a house built in 2015 and it has built-in ceiling lights.
The fan thing was weird to me as usually we had to install these aftermarket just about everywhere I lived. I’m a florida man so fans are pretty much required here to keep the house cool. In turn now I feel like recessed lights are the new normal and bulbs are out.
That’s weird i just bought a new construction house and every room has a fan and light

Ya my house has pretty much all recessed lights, instead of one light in the middle of the room there’s 2 rows of 3 recessed ones lol.
