Why would anyone even trust those estimate programs anymore for Illinois after 2010-2020 showed that the same programs were wildly inaccurate? There is no methodology change with these programs either.

They aren't trying to inform, they are trying to push specific policies. No matter what the actual facts show, the "policy" recommendation never changes. This one is easy because most people don't understand the nuances of the Census data like you do, so they can just deflect.
