the amazing thing is that arXiv has always had a "quantitative bio" section, and I guess it took a sea change for this to be come a thing in bio.

It's a social problem, not a technical one. The main new features bioRxiv has are comments and digital object identifiers (DOIs).

At least originally, I believe bioArxiv's raison d'etre was to give biologists more assistance in producing professionally typeset documents (since far fewer of them know LaTeX then physicists). Not sure that's still true.
