Responsive and adaptive design for enterprise media, ecomm, real estate, and consumer product design is in it's infancy. Yes, doing a band website that is super progressive has become almost extinct due to people wanting a sqaurespacesque site for $50 but for enterprise it's a different ball game.
I'm doing 100+ page hi fi Axure & Sketch projects with multiple breakpoints and A/B testing container systems. We're building our own grids based on user behavior instead of using bootstrap and while yes, these sites tend to have a similar looks we're all trying to push the envelope b/c of the necessity for them to be responsive/adaptive.
With multiple breakpoints I feel as though I'm designing 4-5 versions of every site now so the need for a bit of a more user friendly design system is a requirement. I'm amazed as to how many jr designers I work with will develop enhancements to our products and ignore grids, styles, colors, etc. I'll get a design with 27 different hex values for grey and no adherence to the grid at all. From an artsy fartsy perspective perhaps it's boring but from a technical/UX perspective it's just getting started imho.
