Because a claim was made about a group of people.

Exactly. Does it matter if one member of that class does not follow the trend?
No, but no-one said that. It's far more likely that this "group" of people doesn't even exist, and it's yet another case of treating "strangers on the internet" or "other people" as one person and being upset when that "person" is being inconsistent.

"I doubt the GP has gone back through their career and checked on each person who thought there were too many meetings have now all made the switched they're being accused of, though."

Anyway, I'm stopping this now as it's not a constructive conversation anymore. Let's agree to disagree.

Groups exist
My point being that it's unlikely that it's that way round. It's more likely that there's no actual trend, and there are one or two that have done it and they've just extrapolated.
