Less Big Earthquakes since the 1990s in California

Largest California Earthquakes ranked by Magnitude...

If you look at the word button above: "Largest California Earthquakes-----"

there seem to be a lot less Earthquakes that are really large since the 1990s in California. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing long term because if stresses build up in faults and aren't released it cause much larger earthquakes in the future. Or the stresses might be less now for some reason as well. So, either way, we sure have been having many less big and fatal earthquakes the last 20 years or so.
