Why aren't more new buildings styled traditional?

On Tuesday, we took our cub scout den to a local architectural firm.  They were so generous to walk our boys around and talk to them for 1 hour +!!  So much talent there, and so committed to the philosophy of modernity.  Almost everything they design is modern.  And then, I can't think of one architectural firm in Salt Lake that doesn't use modern styling.  Here is our new library--very modern:

Millcreek Library, Salt Lake County, Utah

This is the new shopping center in downtown Salt Lake--illusions to traditional, but not:


City Creek Center, Salt Lake City

Here is the downtown courthouse that was built several years ago--also with illusions to traditional styles:

Why doesn't anyone design something like this Boise Carnegie Library from so long ago:

Boise, Idaho Carnegie Library

The architects that we spoke to on Tuesday said that it would be "fake" to design a building that is traditional.  I think that everyone would be drooling to hire you for their next project if you did something as radical and different now-a-days as a traditional building!  What a way to set you apart!  My scout partner said that she just feels like modern buildings have so much concrete that they are uninviting.  I think that she is right:
