As designers scramble to cram every last possible element they can into a machine, shots have to get tighter. Smaller ramps, smaller orbits, etc. Look at machines from the early 90s; ramp entrances were wide enough for 2 balls at a time. Modern sterns have barely enough clearance for 1.
This doesn't make a machine bad, just makes the player become better.
