They did get poppier, used a lot more synths, embraced new wave as an influence and made shorter songs but they remained progressive all the same, they never went full pop like Genesis and Yes did.
Moving Pictures in particular strikes a perfect balance, still complex enough for prog fans but catchy enough to appeal to a wider audience.
I know Moving Pictures is the basic bitch choice for favorite Rush album but I am a very basic bitch indeed.
