The proliferation of libraries that make it trivial to do machine learning. I know plenty of professional data scientists with liberal arts/business degrees who never completed calculus.

I'd say the bulk of the data scientists I work with now are non-cs/math people. I work with some math/stats PhDs too, but they are outnumbered like 3 to 1.
