There needed to be justification for having gay sex rather than "being normal" and having sex with a girl.
I think these new scenarios show more of the acceptance of gay sex - you don't need an excuse other than it feels good and you are horny.
I know younger when I was just starting to fool around with guys there always had to be adult (straight) magazines or talk about girls or something before anyone would make a move. I think the old video narratives represented that feeling of needing a reason for gay sex.
Another part is the attention span today. They don't want to watch a long set up or story - just get to the action!

Yup. The first vids (VHS) mostly had the 'justification' element in them. This made it all more palatable for everyone involved, and somehow suggested that the guys were by all means simply str8 fellows like EVERYONE else, trying to get a release of their pent up energies.
Somewhere in the mid-80s, the porn industry started abandoning the old justification cliche, step by step. Think of Falcon Studios'
Splash and you'll recognize that the guys are openly enjoying each other, and planning for it, too. The girl talk was on its way out.
Yet, the dudes used to be familiar with each other or at least believed that 'discretion was a matter of honor', so that the stories would not be spreading...
Some, if minimal pretext courting invariably took place.
All of that is out of the window
these days.
