Anyone have any theories as to why runway Excursions have become the preferred flavor of commercial accident/incident? Not just the most recent four, but going all the way back to the 738 in Kingston (or, rest their souls, Mangalore)?

Weather seems to be a common factor - but weather has been around longer than flying. What has changed that we are suddenly having some - difficulty - stopping on the hard stuff?
