I wonder to what extent the last couple of decades of big universe franchise movies and golden age TV was a result of radically improved CGI technology

Better and better CGI allows “live action” movies to get closer and closer to cartoons. Successful cartoons run forever (Simpsons, etc.) and can easily be restarted or rebooted. So now movies and even TV shows can run forever.

We're trending toward an age where a single person or small team could make a top quality production themselves. I hope that leads to an idiosyncratic auteur golden age to follow this one.

I don't think so. I think it's changes in distribution (niche TV) PLUS changes in demo (creators + audience both aware of conventions, tired of same old same old, tolerating the pace and depth of these worlds).
