Just about every hobbyist, every blogger, every reviewer, every rumor site, every fanboy wants the sharpest, the best, the fastest these days. Also most hobbyists are willing to pay a lot more than what hobbyists used to pay 10-15 year ago, so there is also an increased market for more expensive lenses. So companies just make them bigger and better.
Right now there are only two lenses heavier than 1kg that I use occasionally (aka when I'm working) and those are the Canon 11-24/4L and 85/1.2L II. I own neither of those lenses and neither would I like to own anything heavier than 1kg, except for a 70-400 or similar focal length lens.
