This seems like a likely explanation to me - ADHD awareness has exploded in recent years.
There's a real noticeable increase in different types of behavioral problems. Regardless if it's adhd, add, or other letter combination. Or just plain old bad parenting (and there's plenty of that)
I met up with a few of my old teachers and classmates last year. They all said the same. That they've seen and noticed this increase over the last 20 years.
I don't think anecdotal observation weighs particularly heavy in this instance, especially given the fallibility of the human memory.
Yes, let's not listen to the people who's been making a Living teaching children for almost 3 decades.
They probably don't know what they're talking about.
