I agrey e at least the last season should be dedicated more to plot. However, the issue is these days "slice of life" episodes are considered the most popular style. This is why the Power Puff Girls and Teen Titans Go shows that were brought back are mostly more slice of life.

Action cartoons are less desired these days by networks simply because they are costly to make, take longer to do at times because of how much animation poses and what not need to be done and often show up more animation flaws. Fight scenes in general requiring a choreography thought process and careful direction choices, whereas relaxed Slice of Life scenes don't so much so. Even action based shows sometimes have to resort to down time for more then just dramatic moments.
