Lots of lesser schools are trialing test optional and sometimes the stronger "test blind" right now, for a variety of reasons including covid and competition from their peers. Off the top of my head, the University of Oregon, the University of Utah. All UC and California State schools are test blind right now. Universities devote a tremendous amount of resources to the admissions process because it is, of course, extremely important to their business that they get the right number of enrollments from the right kinds of students.
