Why does freestyle swimming use infrequent kicks?

I could have sworn freestyle swimming styles looked different in Olympics in the ‘90s. It looks like now freestyle is mostly upper body with fewer kicks. Why is this? Why the change?

What events have you watched? Some of the middle distance racers don’t have much of a kick till the last stretch. You’ll see some real whitewater in the 100m finals today though.
