It doesn't come as a surprise that we haven't.
It's a good article, though, outlining why in an interesting way.
However, I think digital has brought some kinds of motifs within reach
that wasn't there before. I'm thinking of "action portraiture" of
humans and other beasts doing some kind of physical exercise. Of
course it's basically down to the factors of better image quality at
higher equivalent ISO than film could provide, and the infamous "crop
factor" that magically makes your big tele lens even more suited than
it used to be for this type of shots.
I don't think bringing motifs within grasp makes the photographer any
better, but it is a form of enablement that gives a competitional
edge. Not so much in sports photograpy anymore, but for nature
photographers the race is still on.
