The nature of celebrity has changed too, with reality and influencer stars being very popular and unwilling/not suited to panto. The big reality/influencer names Crossroads may want earn enough anyway without the need to do 8 or more shows a week over Christmas. And minor names probably aren't seen as appealing.
There is also a lack of variety type entertainers coming through that are popular enough with the public. Pop music has taken a dive so you don't have former boy banders etc to call on, soaps aren't as popular as they once were either. The media and entertainment landscape has changed in the last decade.
