The plot you share is exactly the context I am asking for. It looks like "mostly recovered back to the trendline" is technically true, but it's still measurably below that trendline. And my point is that, even if it was fully at the trendline last Nov, I would want the article to say that, because it's not something that I would a priori expect.
To be clear, I am not arguing that the narrative is wrong, just that the article doesn't have the context to convince me that the narrative is right.

There are definitely those with vested interests in pushing the "economy is in tatters and spiralling out of control" angle, I'm sure you can think of some.
