Is use of literary person changing in indie SF?

One thing I have noticed recently in "indie" SF and fantasy books
is a use of literary "person" I don't recall in fiction from previous
years.

In particular, I have noticed books which are largely written in
the first person, but which have cutaways to various third person
viewpoints, perhaps omniscient, perhaps not.

My conjecture is that without editorial guidelines (or call it interference
if you like) newer authors feel more free to jump around.

Has anyone else noticed this, or is it something that has always been
around and I am just picking up on it now for some reason?

If it is a newish thing, is it happening in other genres (mystery, romance
etc) or largely in SF?  (I will note that in romancey SF, I have also noticed
dual first person narratives of late).

I find I don't mind it, btw.
