Are players taking more and more risks nowadays?

I am starting to see crazier and crazier plays even at 2200-2500. Games are just getting more and more unpredictable it feels like. Crazy stuff.. like NIL when they can just bid 1 and win the game. The most recent game, the guy NIL'd when a 1 bid would win. He had a K ♠️... and this guy was 2400. I am losing more and more faith in schools. 🤷‍♂️ Maybe it's just my games on Spades+ and VIP Spades.
