Occam’s razor seems nice here. Higher demand for care due to rising number of legitimate diagnoses or widespread fraud?

... which of those do you expect Occam's razor points to?
It's like a litmus test for whether you're susceptible to Facebook boomer ragebait.
Were the indictments also ragebait? https://www.justice.gov/usao-mn/pr/first-defendant-charged-a...

Are you really so petty as to call anything not fitting your world view "ragebait"?

...not... ...fraud?
Ok. Maybe. In areas I'm familiar with fraud is so widespread as to feel like the simpler answer. But I have no context for places with medical fraud so I bow to your experience here
Absent enforcement, proceeds from fraud are invested in more fraud. Given that fraud exists in this area, the shape of the growth curve suggests fraud as a plausible driver.
