Wants is maybe too strong, but I've seen this chart in a couple of different substacks / editorials, which I assumed is the fed's press office shopping this story around because "AI taking jobs" is zeitgeist-y right now.
It's more likely that it became popular to use in commentary because this chart from FRED (both the software dev postings on Indeed chart, and, in the comments, the comparison to the overall job postings on Indeed chart) got attention on a certain orange-tinted site that is popular with people in and around and commenting on the software development field a few months ago.
