I think the reason is, for the first time in about forty years, neo-liberalism is really under threat. It used to be that neo-liberalism was so dominant as a political creed that it wasn't politics - it was reality. For better or worse, Trump on one side, and Bernie on the other, overturned that. So now, people identify as neo-liberals - while in the past, I imagine, there wouldn't be any point.
