I'd say there's a few other reasons too.

One, that as players have figured out EQ more they don't need to get along with others quite as much as back then. It's easier to small group or solo these days especially with gear inflation.

Two, that the very high population of P99 leads to a much more cutthroat environment of competition. Not just raiding but all camps/spawns. I'd favor a softer ruleset but it'd be hard to enforce fairly in practice.
