I wonder if that has more to do with the planes or with better monitoring of atmospheric conditions for planes to dodge it

In recent years I've heard pilots announce that they are re-routing to avoid turbulence. I'm not sure what's new: the announcement of this, or the ability to do so.

Probably the former. It's long been customary for pilots to broadcast turbulence over the radio so others can avoid it.
