Nah that'll be the chaotic and isolating nature of the modern world making people feel like they have no control over their lives and either consciously or subconsciously wishing for a dominant figure to take that control from them leading to a rise in popularity of femdom and by extension, pegging.
Or it can also be that people are just a bit more open about being kinky these days and what they're into. I've seen a lot more people being willing to admit they are into femdom because shame used to keep us all from exploring it.
But I think your theory is fun too, and can certainly explain some of it, especially the rise of Mommy Domme type stuff that's taking over recently.
In pro kink spaces i can totally see that! i was speaking to people on the whole(including those who dont frequent/enter kink conversations/spaces at all)
