My experience is similar to the author's, and I live in a not so well off area of Europe. I'd expect to receive dozens of offers per month if I lived in the US.

Most recruiters are just chasing quantitative metrics and don't really care about candidates being a good fit. If you have certain keywords in your resume, you are going to get bombarded with offers. One of the few negative aspects of the rise of remote working is that it has exacerbated this.

You mean dozens of recruiter invites to chat right? Getting offers takes much more than just adding keywords to your CV
Offers as in contract and project details after one or two interviews, with no take home tests or phone screen interviews required. You basically have to agree and sign a couple of documents at that point. Lately, tech recruiters come across as desperate more often than not.
