"Unique" means experimental.
More experimental styles most times lead to more niche audiences.
More niche audiences mean lower ratings.
Lower ratings mean a flop in the eyes of the people signing the paycheck. 🐀👍

You're right, but simply follow the logic stated above!
More unique means more niche audiences, more niche audiences (smaller) mean lower ratings, lower ratings mean a flop in the eyes of the people signing the paycheck and wanting profits. 🐀👍

The problem with a lot of animated shows nowadays (mostly adult animation, like you mentioned) is that they're made by people who aren't artists or animators. With a lot of adult cartoons, they spawn from a comedian, actor, or whatever isn't an artist who got the idea of "I should make a cartoon, those are really easy to do!"
So they hire a bunch of artists to do all the drawings and there's no clear artistic vision. They're not creator-driven.
The reason so many old cartoons (and some new ones mainly from Cartoon Network and Adult Swim) are good because they're made by animators who have a vision. Even if the shows go wrong, it at least flopped with a good idea.

And even when a show is trying not to copy other shows. They are just trying to be so political, people compare it so South Park. Or it’s just not funny. Even some of the shows you brought up are going the same route too. Specifically Rick and Morty. It seems like the only good adult animated cartoons (That I know of) would be Smiling Friends. And that’s excluding indie produced cartoons. If anyone else has anything good that’s for adults. I would love to know because I am getting sick of these adult animated cartoons being the same or just not funny.what about arcane, bojack horseman? even to some extend aggretsuko (i say it was show for adults cuz i dont think kids can relate to it), they all have uniqe art styles like yeah arcane and bojack horseman are not realy comedies but thye still animation and i dont think this post was talking about comedy shows
yeah but those are very few examples in a sea of mediocre adult animation being cranked out. even bojack horseman follows the format pretty well of the stiff, side-view characters. but you're right, in general I do think we're breaking out of the predictable mold, and especially with films like spiderverse encouraging studios to get more experimental with 3d animation I'm hoping we might see a little movement in western animation to get more creative.
