The Senate has changed a few times over history, this is just another change due to the extreme partisan reality that we live in. In the early days any Senator could block things with a filibuster and there was no way to invoke cloture but then in the early 1900s they changed the rules to 2/3 majority to invoke cloture and then later to 60 and now a simple majority. It’s just the nature of politics.
