Quick motherboard question

Hello I was wondering if anyone can tell me why do we use data transfer rate instead of external clock speed on new computers? I cannot find anything online and the part in my textbook just says "Newer motherboards are less concerned with frequency and more concerned with data transfer rate". I was thinking because it is easier to tell how much data is being set through instead of a clock cycle that most people wouldn't understand today. Am i correct? Sorry if I am dumb.
