I think you phrased this well and it's something I've been feeling about Youtube also. It's like Podcasters and Youtubers all follow some pre-baked format which they perceive as the one which gets most clicks or they are blindly following some other popular Podcast/Youtuber.
I find this especially grating on Youtube where all the title cards look the same, there is a lengthy intro/outro, person trying to add loads of "wacky" humor, constant shifts in tone and topic, basically seeming like it's made for people with the attention span of a fly.
I really just want something bare-bones, the bare minimum of music intros and interludes, not trying to be overly funny or preaching every episode, just give me the facts and details in depth, and don't try to over-produce it.
