It seems like there's a tradeoff involved. To get them back, you have to lift some weight for the fuel and structures to land them. I wonder if some technology changed to make recovery the better cost option over disposal.
Also, I suspect that it took a different player in the market to think differently. We've always made them one-time pieces of equipment and there may not have been incentive to think differently up till now.
