I wonder if this "investor friendly" presentation format evolved from the experience of YC doing this year after year.

Very much so. We always stand at a point where we can watch both the presentation and the investors watching the presentation, to see how they're reacting to it. And I've probably watched over 700 DDay presentations now. So by this point I can even predict fairly well which jokes they'll laugh at.
