Many years ago, there was a decision to try to slow the game down. That said, most older cards fall much more into the category of 'unplayable chaff' by todays standards, and it's really just a relative handful of 'classics' that make Vintage/Legacy broken.
The power level also tends to oscillate over the course of several blocks. The 2003-4 block (Mirrodin) turned out to push the envelope in terms of aggresion, and the game is still recovering (In fact, more bannings are coming out in a few days to try and stem the tide of pain brought about from this).
