Huh! I wonder if there was a "burst" of cadence-fixation when ultra-stiff aluminum frames hit the market. Guessing: They were too stiff for many riders, these riders felt that they bogged down riding these frames, thus they wanted very small gear gaps to compensate. OTOH, more flexible and accommodating frames allowed or "encouraged" riders to use a single gear over a wider range of conditions.
Sounds smart to me!
