instrumental beat maker

Oh dear; another record on the radio with an awful, sterile drum sound!  There’s no expression; the “feel” has been sucked out by over-editing.  Where are the dynamics?  Where are the rich tones which change with the playing?  It’s not even close to a real drummer giving a great performance, but what’s this?  There’s actually a human drummer on the track?  I guess his performance was destroyed with Sound Replacer and Beat Detective.  Why is this scenario so common today?  Why is it deemed necessary to make the software re-do the drum parts?  Is it that people have forgotten how to record drums?
