Do I recall correctly that while states can set the age limit, certain Federal funding is made dependent on keeping the age limit at 21? Thus, states feel compelled to toe the "gubmint's" line?

Yes, Federal Highway Transportation funds. The money is significant and states would be unable to maintain their roads without it.
I don't know for a fact, but my guess is that every state has gone to 21 in order to keep this money. I do know that Louisiana was one of the last hold outs and did make the change due to this federal extortion.
