The graph is a bit odd on desktop too. The baseline is Feb 1, 2020, which equals 100 units on the y-axis. Given this normalization, I am less concerned about the y-axis starting at 60.
However, the graph would be much more informative if there were 10 or 20 years of data. It's unclear to me why Feb 1, 2020 is a good baseline to use.
The graph is a bit misleading, at least on mobile. The y-axis starts at 60. The data is also limited.
Edit: It's base 100 so my critique is unfair.

This is an index with base 100.
I missed that, thanks for pointing it out.
The y index is very misleading, from people who should know better
Yes, but the peak is 3x the index prior to the bubble and now.
