WWI was a watershed event. A world-changing event. It wasn't as short as the time period between when the first atomic bomb was dropped and when the second one was dropped, but in the scale of world events, it was still relatively short.

And while Art Deco got started before WWI, it didn't really take off until after WWI.

Just like Art Nouveau that got started in the 1890s, but didn't really take off until after the International Paris Exhibition in 1900.

Both styles took several years to get started and really take off. And Art Deco didn't really take off until after WWI.
