I wonder if it is really a move with the times. If you are selling a track bike, people will know what they're buying. By relaxing any of the angles, means that buyers will then look for more track-worthy bikes elsewhere, or change their original wish list to other bikes without the tight angles.
For a more relaxed angle, there are loads of bikes that better fill this requirement. Lighter ones too.
EDIT:
Good photographic comparison Ed. I saw the difference straightaway.
