Did my fair share of hi-sec care-bearing so can give you my view of what your average hi-sec care-bear mentality is and how its evolved.
They see places like low, null, FW & even RvB as established places for people to head to for PvP content.
So, with all these areas available, they assume anyone looking to PvP in hi-sec must be a failed PvPer who can't hack it there.
Otherwise where is the challenge in attacking ships with little or no combat capability, piloted by low skilled inexperienced people (combat wise), other than to get 'easy' kills to pad out their Kboards or mask their inability to compete with real pvpers?
This gives them a distinct lack of respect towards these type of people and leads to an attitude of 'why should i become content just for them'
So now when a wardec comes their way, they view it as just someone wanting to ruin their game or playstyle, and now endevour to return the favour.
Through experience they know direction action doesn't work. If they fight back they'll likely lose badly which increases the chance of the wardec being extended (plus making them a more likely target for future wardecs from others).
So they sorta 'fight' back in an indirect way, by dropping/jumping corp, removing POS's etc or logging in but then spending their time playing on an alt.
They'll then sit back amused while watching the wardeccers station/system camp a target they have no intention of undocking, while ignoring any taunts in local etc.
They are purposefully going out to deny these 'hi-sec pvpers' any content thus trying to ruin their game & playstyle, like they are trying to do to them.
So, after spending an hour or so removing targets (POS's) & jumping corps etc, they are carrying on as normal, whilst they see the wardeccers wasting isk & game time for no gain.
In essence, they then get to effectively feel they 'won' the conflict, even though not one shot has been fired.
It's become an effective strategy (If it is good enough for null alliances etc then its good enough for them), and as more hi-sec carebears have cottoned on to it, it's causing less people trying to fight back.

Was it just copying people in sov space who got evicted, or what? Because I have to tell you - nobody did this until the past...I dunno...Year or so? In high sec...
Tbh i've no idea when it became popular but wouldn't go against your estimate of a year or so, as thats a similar timeframe as to when i've been sat in public mining fleets or chat channels when Wardecs have come in, and the POS owners scuttle off to remove them (or at least strip them down to the bare bones)
