Computer prowess available even for noobs is one thing.
It simply not the spirit of today. There’s a general trend to shorter periods. Adjourning games, letting players and spectators wait; no, that ain’t the times today.

I have played in the time of adjournments and very much prefer the modern way without adjournment. It was a pain to stay up and analyse to play an adjourned game in the morning. It was also a pain to rapidly bite something and franticly analyse to resume the adjourned game 2 hours later.
Looking at Carlsen games, he does a good job playing endgames without adjournment analysis.
Some of the adjourned games were played badly despite analysis. Even Fischer in the 13th game of their 1972 World Championship match game against Spassky misplayed 42...Ra3+ instead of the winning 42...e5, right after adjournment.
