Probably because a lot of people have been working with it for a long time (like you). I think I started 20 years ago - but I just learned like 40% of css grid this past weekend. (I've been a happy flexbox user for a few years)

But I know what you're saying. I also noticed a few percentage points of people saying they have 20+ years or React experience at this point.

The `20+ years` demographic refers to 20+ years of JavaScript experience, AFAICT.
