The Reuters link specifically addresses that: it's a tabulation error, the older data shows ballots rejected for all causes, the 2020 data is limited to those rejected for signature mismatches only, they haven't released the all-cause number yet. And the signature rejection numbers broadly match up, both being sub-1%.
It isn't just Georgia. The other states reporting have a order of magnitude drop in absentee ballot rejections. Seems like a problem?
