Minecraft recently had their 10th year anniversary, which might be why people wanted to give it a try again for the sake of nostalgia, and you're wrong about not introducing a ground breaking update, the 1.13 update was actually a very well planned update, and introduced much of the stuff that you see in the game(Waterlogged blocks being the biggest change imo), and moreover, following Pewdiepie hundreds of other youtubers also started playing it again, either be it for following the trend or cashing in on it.
