Hot take : fully cooperatives board games are either bad wargames or bad role playing games. But good social activities neither less and good introductions to the genre. And yes, it's totally ok to only play theses.

They are, I think still 'rares' today because game wise they are less intense and deep, so people really into gaming will prefer other games. But they are still a lot less rare than 40 years ago because there are more positively presented in culture and common and it's a lot more easy to convince people to join a board game night, especially if tell them they can avoid human competition and role playing.
