Thinking about it, I wonder if it's an adaptation to trying to compete in an oversaturated market, like if the idea is "there is so much to pick from nobody is gonna look at the summary of a work if the title doesn't really grab them, so the title should be the summary instead" so that it's more visible to the people who want exactly what it bills itself as.

Probably also reflects the shift to a more web-dependent industry/market, where verbose titles are more useful for gaming SEO.

I think this is the primary answer to why there's so many "oops I fell unconscious and woke up in an exploitable fantasy world where being a creepy metagamer means I have a slave harem" creep pandering slop titles. JB-shining-aggro

Right, work in whatever flavor of sexual feature is focused on in the isekai in the title so it turns up when horndogs search for that term.
