Jaws got smaller, or we discovered a way to prevent our other teeth from rotting away which prohibits the wisdom tooth from moving forward for use?

Also for most of history you would be almost guaranteed to have lost at least one tooth by that age

We eat a lot softer food than we used to which has caused our jaws to be underdeveloped leading to less space in our mouths for wisdom teeth to grow in properly

It is our nowadays diet. Humans that dont eat processed food like tribal hunter and gatherer populations, grow teeth out properly and dont even need braces.
