How about "when society evolves to the point that a rule MUST be defined legally, rather than a
set of values given for people to decide situationally," because too many people became ineffificent in situational judgment, and therefore formal, more blanket rules were deemed necessary? I think this is a traditional approach. (Compare Rambam re: R' Yose HaGlili and poultry with milk, as I think you've recently pointed out; and Rambam on why the nusach of Shemoneh Essray was standardized.)
