Well, I would rephrase it: 
- In Junit4, you were very restricted how to write parameterized tests. You always need to do on a new class  + class level annotation + configuration
- In Junit5, you can do it with the different Source annotations, which enable more flexibility as you don't need a separate class with and all the configuration attached to it. The Parameters are now essentially MethodSources, and nothing more is needed other than to mark the Test as ParameterizedTest

So I would not compare it directly but rather say it is a new, better and more flexible way to write them.
