I am assuming that either a) due to the fast pace of modern life, soaking and 
parboiling fell to the wayside, or b) the prevalent use of 'canned' hams by a 
majority of cooks meant that they simply forgot how to cook a non-canned ham 
appropriately. 

I am not saying everyone has forgotten, just that presoaking and parboiling 
before roasting is not done as often as it used to be. My observation was not 
meant to mean that it is not done in the 21st century but merely that it is 
unusual to hear of it being done.
