The shift has come, probably not coincidentally, at the same there has been ever more evidence (genetics in particular) that people are indeed inherently different. I think most people are just afraid of considering this possibility since if you apply it in any way whatsoever it leads to either suboptimal solutions or dystopic ones. For instance if you know somebody is unlikely to be able to achieve, do you allow them into e.g. top tier schools, or not? Brave New World or Gattica? Both answers suck.
