I think one factor for "innovative" maps no longer being influential is that innovation / unique ideas used to be rare, and when they did pop up (some) people took them seriously, whereas nowadays we are basically inundated with maps that are novel in various ways and spanning the full breadth of quality and thoughtfulness, so that the default reaction to an innovative map has shifted from taking it seriously as a potential source of impetus to assuming that it's likely to just be some random crap, or less cynically maybe it has some small idea that's worthwhile and maybe it'll implement that decently, but chances are low, and even if it did there's likely nothing there that means anything in the grand scheme of the community
these being things which 1) didn't really have any influence on the mapping zeitgeist, and 2) didn't really maintain popularity for very long either, felt more like a fad (maybe im wrong on this)
as a counterpoint, i think when maps have gained recognition / clout cus of content creators covering it, historically this hasn't really happened with innovative maps but rather flashy but non-innovative maps (e.g. Probox's ETEA map, or Mayday 2b)
epic perfect stack reading in a way which is a) actually readable if ur good and b) the map is actually fun to play once you parse the reading (and half the time even if you don't) rather than just being placed to be hard to read and then playing like complete ass, and it's just iconic gameplay and the song is a massive bop what's not to love 以上
