Assuming you mean "were cut-throat and sometimes downright rude [against employees]", I'd guess it's mostly because talent is much scarcer today than it was twenty years ago.

employees - yes but also to others as well. Steve Jobs was a dick to pretty much anyone he felt fit and said what was on his mind. I don't see that level of rudeness in CEOs nowadays (though i'm not saying this is a good or bad thing)
