I feel like the craft is still there, but the way we consume music, the fragmented marketplace and the ease of making (or at least remixing) with a free DAW means we don't see "hits" the way we used to.
Also, would you count bands like Paramore (more recent than others on your list) or bands like Gin Blossoms (less edgy) as guitar pop?

I agree with your point about music consumption. No question. And YES! I thought about the Gin Blossoms more than I probably should.
Had a difficult time deciding. Settled on “Baby Blue.”
Beautiful choice
