Since my earlier comment, it occurred to me that there’s a pretty obvious source of “anti-fragmentation”: far more people going to college/university. Although this results in superficial specialization, it means people have a far more uniform life experience in their early 20s compared to if they learned specialties on the job rather than at a large institution.
