A lot of the DN talk and stories online you read are not from people originating in the US in the first place.
I'd also wager that doing this domestically has never really been uncommon at all? Just that many of these people don't think of it as "nomading" (cf "expat"/"immigrant" difference iukwim) and so are 1) less attracted to the idea because of cultural preconceptions 2) the ones who do are less likely to try pushing their lifestyle onto you.
That is, it's actually not less common at all, you just hear about it less.
