I don't think most modern composers agree. I think there are those who
feel 
they must work in this style in order to be considered "serious"
composers, 
or whatever. But think about the amount of post-Star Wars film scores that

have totally gone the opposite way - if anything, music of late -
especially 
in video games with music written with a lot of influence from the pop - 
especially metal - has become "more tonal" rather than less. We live in a 
time now where the diversity amongst composers' styles is more widespread 
than ever.
