When do you think theropods became “the” dinosaurs? If you ask people on the street to draw or imagine “a dinosaur”, I think something like T. rex or Velociraptor will be the first thing that comes to mind, albeit featherless.

If scales do look better in media, or at least in CGI, it’s just because it’s technically far easier to realistically animate an animal with scales than with feathers or fur or other parts that move around a lot as they do (in the Walking With Beasts making of bits, for example, they talk about how it was far more of a challenge recreating mammals than reptiles). Technology is better now, so hopefully the day will come when kiddies grow up seeing feathered dinosaurs as the norm.
