This should not come as a great surprise as the majority of the cardinals are appointees of Francis. Presumably, most of them, at least, share the late pope's "Jesuitical" views on modernization of the Catholic Church, even when they fly in the face of church teachings. On the other hand, some liberal Cardinals have come to realize that the continued drifting away from ancient teachings, most going back to the early days of the church, could do colossal and even irreversible damage, worse than already occurred during the reign of Francis. Those cardinals may be open to a papal candidate holding more traditional views.
