The idiom "in years" denotes the length of an absence. If something was true, say, 50 years ago, then not true for 50 years, and now it is true for the first time "in 50 years." This idiom is used for a long absence coming to an end, which is appropriate here. The idiom "for years" denotes the duration, but the event here is not an event that last for an extended period.
