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.

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.
