I tend to agree with your assessment, but It seems like the approach being taken is too polar. For instance, with some games such as those you mentioned, you can expect it in part to be made that way because historically, those are the games that lead you through too much. Yet with others, such as modern RPGs, you're given too few guidelines as to where you're supposed to go and it becomes frustrating. Thus, I think balance is probably the best goal.
