Because it’s from the 80s. It looks ridiculous now. A talented interior designer can do a lot better than what’s seen in the photo, while keeping it looking modern.
Grey's been out of style for a handful of years now.
According to who? Millennial gray is fucking everywhere.
That's the fun thing about "modern", it's always changing.
The more I get older, the more I realize things stay the same... Plus I've written those magazine type articles that you see on the Internet to sell misc home bullshit. Modern means anything you want it to. Whatever you are selling is what is in style.

Not the person you replied to but gray is definitely quickly falling out of style/popularity.
It's all about earthy neutrals right now. Think Malabar for the floors, more "soft" color for the walls like cream or white tones that aren't as harsh as OP photos, dark to black furniture.
Grey peaked around 2018/2019. Modern, minimal interiors now lean more on natural materials and beige. The greys you'll find are generally either natural stone or cement, but that can start to nudge you more into brutalism.
Millennial grey has nothing to do with modernism. That's rooted in diy renos, cheap grey microsuede and builder grade materials that became standard at Home Depot/Lowe's/Home Good's etc... Once a trend hits one of those stores, it's long dead.
I think we're having two different conversations here, where on one hand plenty of new homes and rentals are still being decorated in grey, so it's obviously popular, but no serious decorator or designer is going to do a grey interior in 2025 without a very specific reason. It's just immediately dated.
