Great change imo. The new & trending tab feels a lot more useful now that it isn't 50% demos.

I am not sure what demos you mention in particular but the one I recently played is news tower and I am hooked. Just waiting for a good sale to snag the game and even stopped posting the demo mid way. I for one appreciate all the demos being put out even if it is short. Their only purpose is to showcase the full game and they do a decent job of that.

I never said demos for actual decent games are bad. Just that trash games and asset swap games are and polluting the search results and library.
