I was only looking at my Cornhuskers football.
Bob Brown (HOF) 22 cards 12 of them after his playing games
Will Shields (HOF) 122 cards 30 of them are in 2020 sets
Now Tanner Lee 202 cards onlly in 2018 as far as I find he never made it.
Just getting to the point that now days a lot of obscure football players are getting a lot of cards BECAUSE of the parallel craze.
At times I wonder if it is worth it. 5 years ago I told myself when I got to 10,000 diff huskers i would/could quit. I'm only 123 from that goal.

From an NBA standpoint Imactually find it is the opposite; often the more obscure players get few cards especially relative to HOF guys from the 80s and 90s who usually have more cards released per year now than they did in their playing days.
Throw in most/a lot of these cards are short numbered autos as you mention or ridiculous parallels and I find it a player collector nightmare personally.
I don't have any real interest in many of the modern releases but then my compulsion to buy as many PC Cards as possible kicks in and I still feel I need to acquire them!

Boy have times changed!!! This time period will be know as Parallel era
There as a time when the player had to earn his way to get a card. Now I have players that have never played a game in NFL with more cards then some HOFers. Plus 90% of the cards are Autos.
