Pretty much what I remember reading about this issue before "muh climate" became the default explanation for literally anything that happens on, or under, the unpaved parts of the Earth's surface.

Climate definitely contributes as longer hot/dry spells exacerbate the situation. Climate change in general is like stress in the human body. It increases the probability of certain kinds of extreme scenario.

Kinda like an inversion of anti-fragility no? Antifragility assumes constant corrections to a system to make it more resilient over time. This is helicopter parenting equivalent of enviro stewardship leading to net fragility.

Yeah, interesting thought to tease out there. The suppression of smaller fires doesn't induce hormesis but actually compromises defenses at higher doses.

Partially; fire suppression policies and limits on logging/thinning (some good, some with unintended consequences) and mismanagement of grassland ecosystems are big factors in less populated areas

By this, I don't just underscore that fixed structures are at higher risk of burning; I mean that the land encompassed by any given ownership entity tends to be managed less nimbly and holistically relative to its surrounding environs.
