or did we just pick it up

I think some of us would like to *think* we "just pick it up" but to me it's quite clear that Google will always keep 1 step ahead of SEO's. Personally I see SEO as pointless and very superficial. I focus mainly on HO (human optimizing) sticking to basic HTML and constantly adding linked content.

The major thing that i am seeing is that you need less keywords on your page. but at the same time, how are you suppose to write a very informative page without mentioning your topic more than an x amount of time

I do not *think* Google is overly concerened with keyword density. Just write text for humans to read and you will get the right ratio.
