While well-made rt 3D viduals may of course enhance (or may not, it depends) the overall experience, opting for 2D can be a design choice that is not necessarily related to production costs or "being stuck in the past".
As for direct control - again, it's all about preference and the type of gameplay designers strive for. I could say first person shooters need to "evolve" too and abandon "tired & outdated" direct control schemes in favour of point 'n' click interfaces. Nothing's changed since Catacomb Abyss, Wolf 3D and Doom - time to move on, right?
