Law and medicine allow for maternity leave.
In academia, you have a set amount of time to get tenure. It is not extended for pregnancy. If you don't get tenure, your career is basically over.
While the article talks about leaving STEM it focuses on PhDs and academia. This is an academia problem, it's not specific to STEM.
