Hey Todd,
No, I don't think that's the case.
The industry has always been what it's been.
I don't really see any change, other than that there is now a polarisation. Big acts vs the guy in his studio bedroom wanting to make it big via youtube. There is no middle ground anymore.
I was once simply a working musican, not well known, who made a damn fine living just from playing music.
I think what the older muso's are saying is the same. It's not about hit records, or chances missed. It's about just loving what you do, and being able to get a living from being a professional person.
Now ? Heck, I don't waste my time. Like Tom, I'd rather put my efforts into a younger generation and ( hopefully ) give some guidance in the places I didn't do so good at.
That includes "wanting to be famous over work, talent, and even more work"
cheers, niteshift

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
