The 964 went to power steering because it was needed to support the steering geometry required by ABS.
ABS requires a near-zero steering offset (the steering axis needs to pass through the center off the contact patch), and zero-offset steering requires much more effort to turn the wheels than the large positive offset steering of the pre-964 911.
Also the reason that the traditional Fuchs were not available on the 964 -- incompatible with zero-offset geometry.
