Do you have a citation? I was hospitalised with Covid-19, and that was my primary treatment (100% oxygen CPAP was required to keep my O2 sats above 90% - high flow nasal oxygen would cause it to dip below 90).

The one from 8 months ago (April 2020 or so) was a study about how aggressive oxygenation to get patients' oxygen sats above an arbitrary threshold was not helpful. Physiological stress makes it hard for the body to use oxygen efficiently, and just pumping more oxygen into people doesn't fix the fundamental problem. I'm glad you survived -- suffice it to say that I think everyone who hasn't yet reached their expiration date has tremendously more potential to recover.
