I'm not sure where you're drinking but I've most bars will have a basic Pils on tap, most likely a Stella or Heineken at that. Any decent bar will have some random German or German style beer made by a more local brewery on tap.
Regardless, your premise of bars changing out taps of universally liked is incredible subjective. Wouldn't they be pick beers that they think you be more liked by their public to increase sales?
I do agree the purchasing of craft beer lines by conglomerates is something to be concerned about but I like to think of those beers just being consistently available. It normally doesn't change the taste. The taste of Goose Island Sofie and Matilda beers, for example, are still great, and Blue Moon is still terrible, in my opinion of course.
