Both the Republicans and Democrats do intend to fix this (and the rumor is that they intend the fix to be retroactive to 2021). It's generally considered to have been unintentional on Congress's part. However the fix has been held up in the Senate by the Republicans (esp. Sen Crapo), because it's part of a larger tax bill, and the Republicans think they'll be able to get a better bill overall in the next term. Meanwhile startups affected by it are left to swing in the wind.
