Nolan was the real originator of this issue, I think. Others have unfortunately followed suit.

I thought it was a real problem in Dune - Villeneuve has certainly used oppressive sound (including music) to create an atmosphere but in previous movies (the border scene in Sicario, arriving in Las Vegas in Blade Runner 2049 for example) it just helps the weight of the scene without making the movie harder to watch. There's a fine line and it often involves what's going on on screen at the time, and obviously it's going to vary by audience where that line is.
