Those things have already changed though.
Students graduating this year will not be able to remain and work in the US because the US has stopped processing work visas and are explicitly preventing immigrants from getting new jobs.
This is in addition to the fact that international student numbers had already dropped over the past couple of years thanks to US hostility towards immigrants.

What story are you referring to? I've seen stories around the edges of this kind of thing for H1B's, but nothing so definite. A student graduating now wouldn't need one yet anyone because they get two years of OPT if they were in STEM.

Yes, but it's also possible to use some (or all) of that OPT time on internships in industry. I have colleagues who were in that situation, and had to spend a few months back in their native country after graduation, while their visa was being processed because they had no OPT left.
