Setting the bar high?

I’m curious. I see a growing trend of companies making flat bars once more, and bike manufacturers choosing the install them as oem product. I’ve always been a riser bar user, with the acception of my small divergence into alt bars such as the salsa woodchipper. 

What are your thoughts? Why are flat bars a growing trend? Are they better for trail riding?
