You may be correct.   The subject suggests TLD servers and their upstreams 
block EDNS(1) (was this a considered choice or an implementation artifact)
and there has been a reduction in blocking at the server level.  Unclear if 
this is a deliberate choice or an upgrade artifact that the server admins or 
the ISP upstreams
have made an explicit choice to enable EDNS(unknown) processing at the server.
