Why is Incineroar so ridiculously good?
Also, why is Thundurus getting so much usage all of a sudden?

Snarl, Intimidate, Fake Out, and Parting Shot. Slap those four on something and it's going to be a god in VGC. It's a meme format most people don't like for a reason.

because it's literally Masuda's favorite Gen 7 pokemon and he buffed the fuck out of him in Gen 7 because of that.

This. Reminder that the next highest starter is Venusaur, who's Miyamoto's favorite.

Great stats. Great abilities. Wide support and offensive movepool. It was good in Gen 5 and 6 so no reason it wouldn't be here.

It's also Masuda's favorite

I read on bulbapedia that Masuda often plays competitive so he probably buffs his favorite pokemon so he can get easy wins

That makes way to much sense. Masuda was taking out of his ass when he said pic related.

Thanks to Ability Patch, Defiant Thundurus is finally legal in VGC. And because Incineroar is a good Pokémon who brings Intimidate, that can bolster its usage.

Because of dynamax.
It's frail but dynamax allow it to tank most hits, even more with an assvest, and fire a powerful max airstream in return and outspeed the next turns. And you can't intimidate it because of Defiant.
It's funny that Thundurus was used a lot in previous gens but with a totally different set (prankster with twave/swagger and thunderbolt).

Based on the gen 7 VGC's, Incineroar was better in years with legendaries allowed.

Intimidate + Fake out + can be run in so many different ways with different stat spreads, items and moves because stats and movepoll are incredibly versatile.
Thundurus is similar, it can be offensive, a support, or bother at the same time. The two incredible abilities, nice movepool and stat spread help a lot.

Regieleki is similar too, it can be screens or ele web support or an offensive powerhouse.
