1. A wider selection of monitor resolutions/sizes became available, necessitating dynamic font size
2. UI design changed, requiring different font sizes, necessitating dynamic font size
3. Unicode support, which requires a lot of disk space and memory to support a large amount of characters. Truetype vector font compresses this data by having common shapes stored separately. Vector fonts also only store shapes, not pixels so they use far less disk space.
It might not seem as much data, but noto sans cjk font (chinese, japanese and korean) alone is 300mb of truetype vector data.
