for unknown reasons. Danny at GR Research has posted before and after measurements on one of his drivers on the GR Research site. Driver resonant frequency falls and compliance increases, both as one would expect, and not by a small amount. This also causes changes in how the crossovers interact with drivers.
It takes a few hours at least for this to occur, and no mfr. can put this much time into break in of the products. Speakers are designed around optimized, i.e. broken in components. That's what the driver makers are giving out.
