I think in a attempt at bipartisanship Democrats were willing to allow the filibuster. Hoping for constructive arguments leading to agreements.
But the Republicans used it effectively to block just about everything under Obama, judges and any reforms, just look at what happen to the ACA!

Here is a chart showing the filibuster in use over the year.
