It's almost ubiquitous in new music, especially pop, country, etc.

It's also nothing new. It was highly popularized nearly 30 years ago, in the late 90s. It dates to the 1940s when they used tape speed variations. Seems odd that it's suddenly an issue after decades of nearly everyone using it.

Vocals also aren't the only thing processed. Pretty much everything is processed in some form.
