Tufte and others like to think in terms of data density.  Though eye

that those extra pixels can be used to convey information.  So I say
don't ditch them, just utilize them.

I suppose we reap what we sow, though I might not agree that we're
evolving towards shallowness.  I think we're flattening, and the
frosting just smooshes out easier. :)
