Could be but I am also seeing a trend where some websites manipulate the navigation history so that when you click the back button in your browser you end up at their home page even if you came to the page you are currently on via some other site.
I first saw this on Facebook but I have since seen even sites that I used to respect follow this same pattern.
To me this is nothing but another dark pattern.
