From my experience - it's simply that there is much more DX using FT8 on all
bands than other modes.
Not long after FT8 was released firing it up on 80m at fall morning sunrises
was very revealing. The amount and variety of DX available from the Far East on
FT8 was eye-opening whereas CW/SSB were very slim pickings if existent at all
on any given morning.
No signs of that changing - except maybe continuing to increase.
