The scholars say in Makkah at the tine of the Prophet - Allah's peace and praise be upon him, there were no munafiqun because Muslims were being persecuted and people saw no benefit in pretending to be Muslim. As Islam gained power, in Medina and afterward, those who were unbelievers at heart but wanted to protect their worldly interests by integrating with the Muslims became more in number. This continued to be the case as Islamic rule expanded and more nations came under Islam. The existence of munafiqun is a test and reminder to the believers. Remember that there were munafiqun who attempted to harm the Prophet himself in Medina, and that was the best of all times.

The intent behind these sayings, and others similar to them, is to point out how widespread nifaq would become in the ummah. This is generally agreed upon by scholars. Allah knows best.
