Stuff like that is designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator in order to reach the widest possible market. Everything has to be as risk-averse and sterile as possible so as to not potentially alienate any prospective customers.

Basically, the answer is money.

First problem is that you chose a commercial as your demo of 3D animation.

Commercials are soulless in general, they're made to sell you shit. Independent creators can make 3D animations hundreds of times better than a healthcare scam.

They're all trying to imitate Pixar (Disney) instead of honing their own style. To translate: people footing the bills see how Pixar is successful therefore they demand the same style be applied.

Arcane was animated by some French studio and the French are snobbish enough that they think they don't need to imitate other styles to BTFO the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ps6nV4wiCE&

Spoiler alert: they BTFO'd the competition.

I can't quite put my finger on it. It's like when 2D had sovl and then they started to make those glorified flash animations full of calarts and they went full sovlless. But with the 3D we never had that sovl part. I want to say something like Toy Story is, but I don't think that really counts because the designs were all/mainly based on existing products.
Disney is by far the worst though. People complain about the uncanny valley, but Disney have tried to translate their original classic cartoon designs into 3D and it looks atrocious.

But mainly I feel like they focused so much on the technical side that they left stylization for the same college retards making shows on CN, going for the same regurgitated stylization formulas (Disney, Illumination) or even devolving into simplistic globohomo styles.

Why? Just hire some fucking actors to do the cringe dance for you, it'd be cheaper, it'd be faster, it'd be less cringe than this.
Animation as a medium exists to tell stories that can't be told through theater / screen-plays with real people, using it in this manner is soulless because it's going against the sole reason it exists.
Like for real even shitty ads where they show pills dancing before they jump into stomach acid or w/e the fuck is levels above this because its at least something that can't be easily done with actors.

The reason this is soulless isn't that it's 3d but that the idea behind it is soulless.

Everything from Tangled to our days might as well be a slightly less offputting version of Calarts.

The problem isn't the medium it's the people. 3D is soulless just like modern 2D is soulless because 90% of animators, 2d or 3d are just bugmen who were handed an art degree because they achieved technical proficiency in using the tools that they were required to learn in order to create soulless products. People complaining wah it's a commercial miss the point completely; yeah it's a commercial, but it's not like the studios that produce this slop make anything better than that. This soulless garbage is what they crank out whether it's a commercial for fucking grub hub or a feature film. It's the result of an art form being turned in to an industry and filled with worker bees and businessmen in suits bossing them around, both of whom acquired their skillsets by rote memorization and neither of whom were ever required to display an ounce of creativity to get where they are.

I have some doubts about it, because these advertisements alienate racists. I'd rather think they target specific demographics. Perhaps, people who appreciate ridiculously-looking sacks of shit on the screen or think that "grubhub" is a good name for a business, are also more likely to order junk food delivery.
