It should be. It's a completely lazy tackle that can, and has, seriously injured players. This kind of tackle form wasn't all that commonplace 15-20 years
What has changed in the last 15-20 years that caused this change in tackle form, I wonder?

Exactly.

Just about every other form of tackling.
Tackling up high now risks a foul for a blow to the head or horse collar. A run and hit at full speed that results in a hard collision risks a foul.
One of the few options left is to grab a player around their midsection, but that’s only half the process. Driving them into the ground risks a penalty, so defenders simply drop to the ground and pull the ball carrier with them.
