Default Single-seat torpedo planes post-WW2

Just wondering how come post-WW2 carrierborne torpedo planes such as
Firebrand, AM Mauler, Wyvern were all single-seaters. Only a few years
ago during the WW2, carrierborne torpedo planes required three crews -
pilot, bomber/navigator & radioman/gunner - without exception. What
brought this change?
