Because it changed the actual limit from 1,000,000 bytes to 4,000,000 weight units, where witness data is now counted as 1 weight unit per byte instead of the previous 4. It's not exactly a 4x increase because you can still have non witness data in the block, which still counts as 4 weight units per byte, but you can fit wayyy more witness data in there
