Because the object you are receiving a signal from is further, thus necessitating more sensitive receiving equipment that couldn't have existed in the past?

Superconducting detectors and materials science have obviously advanced leaps and bounds in the last 30 years: it's really not up for debate or a premise that can be "bought."
