Jilted generation perhaps - it is dance music after all.

But there's a difference between mastering for hifis (expectattion of loudness buttons, bass boosts, little to no sub bass at times) and mastering for clubs no?

You could make a lovely balanced album that sounds great on a hifi and a little flat on a rig compared to other dance tracks.

If you don't reference good dance tracks you could end up making nice sounding stuff that doesn't sit well in the mix with other club tracks.
