Because of technological advancement.

We used to swap discs on our PS2 playing FF 7, 8, 9 etc because that was lik what....10 years ago. Now its nearly 2010, and only the Xbots will defend their machine saying that there's nothing wrong with swapping 1 billion discs.

So yeah, men used to travel using a horse and cart...now we travel via cars/trains etc. We can go back to the olden days and travel via horse and cart, but who wants to?

See, I never thought disc swapping was an issue. Back in PS2 days, my only real annoyance with gaming was long load times.. a problem that I looked forward to disappearing some day. (Though, to be fair, most Xbox and Game Cube games didn't have long load times even back then)

 

Apparently though, taking 10-15 seconds 2-3 times over the course of 70 hours of play is a massive time waste on par with travelling down dirt roads at 10mph, whereas waiting 10-15 extra seconds several times per HOUR of play for loads is technology at its finest. (And exponentially more for some PS3 titles)
