And that's when cases exploded in Florida and Texas [0], from 1-2k per day to 15-20k, coinciding with the spread of delta throughout the world.

If delta hit in a different season it might have been the northern states who fared worse than the southern states.

Probably true. Vaccination rates have an effect here too, and that varies quite a bit state to state.
