> Aren't state and local taxes also deductible from federal income taxes?

Yes, but the Trump tax changes put a $10,000 cap on this deduction, which is significantly lower than the standard deduction. Combined with low mortgage interest and the lower cap for new mortgage balances whose interest is deductable, a lot of people went to the standard deduction.
