thinking about how science fiction has become less and less futuristic as computers have improved and computer generated imagery has improved

teleporters got replaced with high stakes boarding actions that wouldn't be out of place in The Hunt For Red October in terms of how unimpressive and well studied the mechanism is.

oh boy you've got a thermal lance and welding goggles, how original. you're going to lead a team of Marines through a small hole one guy at a time? really? just walk the hull to an airlock you can crack, at the very least.

I wonder if it's ironically a money thing, because it also occurs to me that low-budget productions only barely seem to exist.

For your example, the idea existed before, but Gene Roddenberry was always clear that the Star Trek transporters exist almost entirely because they didn't have the money to build the shuttle for the first episodes. Now, between higher budgets and cheap CGI, you can almost guarantee that you can film the first version of the idea that the writer offers.
