Sure it has something to do with digital. Digital cameras are the most dependent on batteries of all cameras. Even all-electronic film bodies have much longer battery lifetimes. With digital, you have to be aware of the status of the batteries much more than with film. Just a given.

Of course, the fundamentals of the situation aren't all that different; a digital camera with dead or no batteries is approximately as useful as an MX or Spotmatic with no film or an unwound roll parked on exposure #37.
