YES! Dave, you nailed it with this one, I have been riding since the mid '80s and I definitely notice a difference in attitude and entitlement now. It's not just with mountain bikers though...I think it's a societal issue...but that's a topic for a different day.
As for skidding and blowing up berms...I blame Curtis Robinson...haha...he really started the cutties movement and it's just blown up from there. All the pro's and wannabe pro's making shreddits (that I am guilty of watching and enjoying too!) and getting that much-needed berm shred shot.
