I'm not sure how one sees the almost opposite reactions of Dolores and Maeve to sentience and think that questions of man or machine isn't a core part of the show anymore. In addition to the questions of whether this is all a part of Ford's programming or is it actual decision making on the part of the artificial beings. The main characters of the show have mostly become hosts who are struggling to deal with their reality (& the Man in Black).

Well William wouldn't have any way to discuss future him and the MIB didn't have a reason to mention his first few trips to the park other than in the way he did. Ford, Bernard, Elsie, Ashley, Theresa, Charlotte, etc. all had reason to mention the 5/6s of the corporation, land and hosts.
Sure the theme stuff is still there in some degree, but it went from primary to secondary. We're now in a plot driven story ala Game of Thrones, which wasn't the structure of season one.
