A lot of soul has been scooped out but I think it began with so much soul that bits hard to carve it all the way out. Definctland on YouTube did a fantastic multi part biography of Jim Henson and he just had this hard to describe but when he's talked about it adds up kinda thing that's super simple and basic and relatable for the audience but so specific as a creator thst comes along on rare occasions. He also worked with a lot of people that were those kinds of talents in their own rights as well.
I think the biggest obstacles for The Muppets is thst there isn't really anyone at the top.that takes them seriously. The death of practical effects also didn't help. Jim Henson studios was amazing at making creature puppets for outside of house movies as well as detailed non human costumes etc. The Dark Crystal had almost a Tolkien/Avatar level of thought put into its world and all of it was mostly just for small bits of set dressing but it was a fully imagined world, you just weren't told about it aside from small visual bits.
The Muppets have somehow managed to be a massive franchise for decades without becoming a soulless husk. Really something special.
