In addition to both of your guesses - which I think are both correct and related to each other you also have the fact that a bunch of people who didnt vote for Hillary did vote for Biden.

In 2008 the counter to "is America ready to elect a woman" was "yes of course. No one thought America was ready to elect a black person, and yet they did just last election".

Also, I think 9 years of Trump has just removed the filter for alot of people to say things in public that they would only say in private before.

That answer was true for a majority of voters, but not in the right states, and there were clearly many people who would vote for a Black man but not a feminist woman.
