It is likely a combination of many things: maturity of the product itself, size of the installed base, growth in community popularity and participation, lack of affordable alternatives for comparable web 2.0 functionality, etc. I actually prefer to view it more as the maturity of Drupal as a platform through which the Drupal technology community is pushing Drupal forward - potentially straight into enterprise software territory. Here is my "top ten style" list of the technology trends I see fueling this growth.
