Usually the kind of thought expressed in the title is a matter of our minds playing tricks on us. In this case, however, you're absolutely correct.
The lugia boss raid is a perfect example of what happens when a game evolves.
A number of things did indeed happen since you fought lugia last summer.
To begin with, you have collected a lot of stardust and converted them into more powerful pokemon overall. You might even have levelled up from levels where your pokemons couldn't reach their full potential.
More importantly, since electric type attacks were attractive back then due to the number of gyarados and vaporeon in the gyms, the arrival of zapdos was a great event. Overnight we received a huge boost over jolteon, and three months later raikou entered the scene. You're likely to have invested stardust into those pokemon.
EX raids had us scrambling for larvitar candy to turn into tyranitar, something further boosted by tyranitar boss raids. In the background players either pumped up a gengar or an alakazam to use as the starter mon for the promised EX raids. Then when those raids finally materialised boss raiders got their hands on mewtwo which is doing a much better job than alakazam.
All in all it means you're likely to be able to retire your golems from raid duty. And even if you don't, whenever the weather is partly cloudy they pack more of a punch.
You and your fellow boss raiders hit lugia a lot harder than you did the first time around.
