Until 2009, as far as I remember, almost nobody got 90 days.
UK (and Ireland) went from 30 to 90 (+90) days in 2009. At the time I'm pretty sure that only Japan got the same privilege. It followed the UK granting visa-free access to Taiwanese. It was a very big story in Taiwan at the time.
Schengen countries followed early 2011 (?end 2010). That accounts for most of the rest of that list.
US this month.
