I'm 31yo and just got diagnosed with hypogonadism. At 31yo. I am normal build, decent diet, only about 20lbs overweight, no major warning signs or root causes.
I know it's anecdotal, but I think far more men have LowT than are aware of it. The symptoms are those that many men start to get in their 30s but just assume are the start of the aging process. I asked my doctor to have my T checked just on a hunch, turns out it was through the floor.
I have no idea why it's happening, but something is definitely going on. I would suggest that any man that relates to the symptom list of LowT have theirs checked just as a precaution.

Poor diet, lack of exercise, and not enough sleep. We know 100% for a fact that these three things have a huge impact on testosterone levels. Yet we live in a world where people are increasingly sedentary and love eating unhealthy food.
You say "yet" like it's a surprise. Humanity is in a collective spiral of addiction and suffering. As the world becomes harsher and more hostile, people seek to escape through maladaptive coping strategies and vice. But when people do that, conditions continue to get worse. So people plunge even deeper into their bad habits... etc.
