Not sure why this would be surprising. Even if we assume theres a bit of a skew because a recycler has run a bunch of benchmarks on old hardware, it's something that felt pretty inevitable. Average users dont need any more power than they have right now for their common activities (browsing and such), so havent been upgrading. There's been a large increase in low power machines, be it the N100's, portables such as the steam deck, etc. Until the next 'big thing' theres not going to be much of a need or desire to upgrade, you're not gaining anything at this point if your activities arent cpu constrained.
