A client's portfolio from 2020 to now shows a huge shift in project focus

I was looking at a designer's site I've followed for a while. In 2020, their portfolio was almost all branding and logos, maybe 90% of the work. Now, it's flipped to about 70% product design and UI/UX case studies. The change happened over the last two years. I think the cause is the job market pushing more designers toward digital product roles. But I've also heard some people say a portfolio should show your core passion, not just chase trends. What's the better move for someone building their book right now: showing a clear specialty or showing you can adapt to where the work is?

Core passion" is just code for "unemployed.

Show your best work, even if it means your focus changes (like mine did).
