For example I don't like the oversaturated colors that I've been seeing the last ten years or so. But that's a matter of personal preference of course.

This comment surprises me. You must have not lived the Velvia 50 film era (1990-2005) where garish color and heavy filter use dominated established landscape photography.

On the other hand, some early DSLR cameras really had lackluster color output straight out of the camera. Nowadays if you do not like too much saturation, just dial in a different film simulation.

Actually I used Velvia 50 a lot and I liked it. But sometimes in combination with a polar or other filter I felt saturation was too much.

By the way I was not referring at camera output but oversaturated colors made in post processing. Some people find these "good colors". But again it is all personal taste of course
