It would be helpful to start with what you think is good in a sitcom. If you just want “what do people like most” then on balance the answer is 2 1/2 Men and Big Bang Theory, but I’ll make the bold assumption that “unalloyed slop” is not in your set of good properties.
I’m also simply curious about the fate of the format. At this point it seems very possible to me that the sitcom didn’t survive the switch to streaming. Podcasts are a likely assassin too.
The premier dates of 2.5 men and the BBT were also about 20 years ago.

Idk, people still binge watch the office, parks and rec, Seinfeld, etc. because of streaming sites. For a newer example, Ted Lasso is a sitcom which embodies the streaming aesthetic (easy, vanilla, palatable, anesthetizing).
