Envy-driven zero-sum thinking. If these movies are in some way objectively bad (as art or whatever), the only people who pay for it are, well, the ones paying for it. Meanwhile gains from trade mean all other types and quality of filmmaking have *more* resources than before!

The thing that irritates me about OP's claim - there *is* something there, insofar as internationalizing movie appeal, and trying to appeal to the widest base has costs, and one of the costs is that the story becomes very pleb-tier, a lot of the time.
