I agree with most the comments but also the other reson why experimental sites have now gone away is that peoples portfolios have actually been filled. Experimental sites were in place of a solid commercial portfolio. If you dont have clients then why not be your own.
Whats intersting as well is that there were 2 waves of experimental sites. The first sites on the web were all experimental and balls out. And it was the content that was ingenious. Then the .com content boom hit and fucked it all up as we saw... other meduims content wasnt relative to the web. They missed the point. Then wave 2 is what youre talking about... experimental flash/director /artsy work. Portfolios got big and clients/employers didnt get it as they werent/arent in the creative realm usually. Additionally when any of us only have 10 minutes of free time who wants to hunt for the meat of the site.
Just a thought.
