Why is all Wide now¡

MHWilds

Since AT Arkveld came out, I've noticed that all the speedrun builds are using Wide shelling.
Did something change with the patch, making Wide shelling better now, or is it more of a community preference?
Sample speedruns related to this question.

This last is not a speedrun, but stills make me wonder about why everyone uses Wide now.
