Why are 32mm tires standard now on new bikes?

Before didnt the tire size used to be 25mm or 28mm? I'm in the market for a new bike and my last road bike i bought was in 2016. I checked Trek and Giants new bikes under 2k and they all seem to have 32mm tires why is that? If I did buy a bike with 32mm tires would i notice a big difference coming from 25mm tires?

My current bike is a 2016 giant contend 3 and im looking at the Domane AL 3 but im put off by the 32mm tires.
