For every reboot sequel and prequel there are 10 new series. There are around 40 different new anime this season. (Without counting Chinese, musics, poor quality and children's show). Take a look at myanimelist seasonal anime.

(Anime in Japan come out in season : winter, spring, summer, fall. So they start and finish roughly at the same time).
.

And most or your example are pretty bad,

bleach just got an end that everyone liked
hunter hunter was paused because the author is sick, it never stopped and it's not a reboot
FMA brotherhood was great because it fixed the issue with FMA : the end of the anime was made before the manga. And it's 2009 come on you can't use that to say that nowadays there's only reboots
yeah they are milking the fate franchise and evangelion, and their community is all for it
