IIRC New York is also going in that direction as their DA recently announced similar policies.

Clearly I do not have the level of understanding to have any idea what is going on, but the fact that this is happening is so many major metro areas in the United States seems completely absurd to me. Is it just a case of the criminal justice system completely buckling under strain?

The US systems are not designed to withstand subversion and sabotage. It costs a couple million [1] to install your DA in a large city such as LA and then you can effectively cancel law enforcement in the area because there is really no recourse against this, nobody thought before that the chief elected jurist will just refuse to do his job.
