Those are actually good parody movies but since 2000s parody movie quality has went downhill. But why people still make it?

Money of course :D
Doesn't cost much to make and those things rake in a lot of money
Example:
1. Scary Movie (2000) - Budget: 19mil Gross: 278mil
2. Scary Movie V (2013) - Budget: 14mil Gross: 78mil
3. Superhero Movie (2009) - Budget: 9mil Gross: 71mil
4. Vampires Suck (2010) - Budget: 12mil Gross: 80mil
5. Johnny English Strikes Again (2018) - Budget: 25mil Gross: 158mil

Traditionally, movies need to make at least 150% of their budget back to break even, these things make more than that.
Same reason why there are a lot of horror films every year (which makes it probably the most successful genre in movies)
