As you yourself point out downthread, the award of this goal was disputed at the time, and the guidance hasn't changed. Plus unlike the Ferdinand header, nobody could have thought the cross that Kjaer diverted into his own net last night was a shot on target. It might be a factor in some goals not being recorded as own goals in the dim and distant days before multi-angle TV replays, but can't possibly explain a spectacular rise in own goals since 2016. Ferdinand-style goal awards are as rare if not rarer than recorded own goals in recent tournament history
