I understand where you're coming from, General. Thinking about it from that perspective, it seems demons gradually began to become a far less threat to Sam and Dean after the angels had made their presence known in the fourth season. In addition, since "Lucifer Rising", far more powerful villains (e.g. Lucifer, the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Eve, Leviathans) have continued to appear, making demons look no more dangerous than humans are in comparision to them.
