They got rid of international friendlies in Europe and replaced them with the Nations League so there is definitely more competitive football for international players.

Also they increased the number of teams that qualify for international tournaments so that’s more players playing more games. And in South America they seem to be having international tournaments more regularly than they used to.

Claudio Ranieri was first manager I remember who really started rotating players in the Premiership. The British press nicknamed him the tinkerman because of it
