I think it's a valid criticism but you'd need to say more about the context of these towers. A tower in a prominent downtown location is more important than one next to a highway in the suburbs. Ideally they'd all be nice, but realistically there will always be generic filler buildings, and these at least are a step up from the 2000's.

There's a lot of good stuff in Toronto. I wish there were more street-level detailing/ornamentation (a criticism aimed at all commercial scale construction around the world over many decades), and it would be good to try to do something about huge building footprints (Toronto specifically being bad for this). Then there's the whole investor shoebox condo problem. Also yes please actually preserve the last 5% of the historic buildings instead of the taxidermy approach.
