Santa Fe was already becoming Disney-fied when I first went there as a kid in the early/mid 70’s. I shudder to think now. I was actually just there, about a month+ ago, but I had just taken a bus down from Ghost Ranch and was catching a train to the ABQ and didn’t have time (or desire) to hit Santa Fe proper.
The Santa Fe/ Taos area got overrun by pretend-artsy (mostly) east coasters in the 70’s and really wrecked it. I don’t need to see some New York heiress parading around in faux Native American garb. Yuck.
