I agree with everything you say. But how on God's green earth does someone get a high enough position to include tones that would turn off younger people?
(Again not trying to sound combative, I just talk like this)
You’re specifically asking about B-Movies here. They’ll grab whoever the heck fills the chair.
If it sounds good enough for the story to be told and trick someone into watching it, the goal was achieved. Time for the next movie!
Most of the time, if the dialog is delivered and actors are on set, that’s really all that matters for tax purposes.
I think it is worth considering that every single b-rated movie has a huge pile of things they had to cut that probably made them cried for days and will regret cutting for the rest of their lives. Movies cost a fortune to make, and every single element costs more than you can imagine. At a certain point it is the choice between shitty sound or abandoning big enough plot points to kill the whole project.
