Right, if STEM kids could figure this out in the late 90s on dial-up and pay by the minute internet, then 2020s kids with iPhones in their pocket can check this in seconds in between classes and TikToks.

You're discounting the impact of aggressive marketing for these programs in the 2020s vs. virtually zero back in the 1990s.

As well as there being less non degree career options that pay decently, causing many young folks to feel "a degree" is only option.
