Because content was made with the available technology in mind. For example, [old video game art](https://www.reddit.com/r/FinalFantasyVII/comments/q3yp85/left_side_is_what_it_looked_like_on_a_crt_tv_no/) looked way better on old CRT screens than they do on modern ones.

Conversely, modern content is made with the assumption that modern screens can show more detail.
