Blame pixel peeping for this. Viewing a 36 MPix FF frame on a typical computer monitor @ 100% is basically like viewing film through a 50X microscope. Or it's like enlarging a 35 mm frame to a 50"x75" print or like projecting a slide on the wall but then sitting only a couple feet from it. This kind of extreme magnification was almost never done back in the film days and it will reveal the aberrations and resolution limits of those old lenses.
Yet those old lenses produced beautiful pictures back in the day and they still do. Moreover, modern software can easily correct a lot of the aberrations & softness in any new or old lens especially in images taken at lower ISO.
It all depends on whether the goal is pictures or peeping.
