No, they decided that 6 months ago (or whatever the lead time is), but everyone decided at the same time, for fairly obvious reasons.

This is false. A lot of these companies started their IPO process earlier but then got delayed due to COVID. Not everything is as pessimistic as you’re making it sound. It just happens to be before November (companies usually dont go public during election season) so this is the only viable window for companies to go public for the remainder of the year.
