If you make a research on the market, you will see that rim brakes are long gone from the offer of most providers, mechanical shifting already leaved the scene in a large extend in favor of electronic shifting, 23 mm tires are gone and 25mm largely handed over to 28 mm. Whether all these are the solutions for the problems and worth the money and weight penalty - is up to you to decide. For me, those changes didn't really bring solutions, because I felt no problems to address in those "departments". But somebody who searches for a bike nowadays has no other choice, since the industry largely embraced that trend.
