Is it because PG&E doesn't use modern tech for their lines or because they don't maintain the trees near them, or had no choice but to put the lines near trees, or what ? Feels very 1/3rd world right now...

That is because it is a big FU from PG&E.
This is one of a fair number of recent issues secondary to inadequate maintenance on their equipment.
This is them setting up to raise rates so they have the dough to do the maintenance they should have been doing all along.
