We wouldn't be seeing the data from people in th last 20 years since it takes longer for cancer to develop. I would expect that we would have seen this since the last sexual revolution when boomer are hitting 55+ (2000ish).

Not surprising, just like smokers don't get throat cancer at 25, but more likely at 50,60 year old.
In those 20 years we've had another sexual revolution, deconstruction of any barrier to promiscuity and any number of apps to facilitate hookups.
The demographic hit hardest is 55+, which is unsurprising. We only started pushing HPV vaccines to teenagers (only) right around that time, so most of the current generation is unvaccinated.
