What exactly does comfortably mean?
I have a feeling those numbers a highly inflated with a bunch of bullshite expenses.
That's what I'm thinking.

What would you call a 35 year old married couple in Alabama with two children where one spouse is a nurse and the other is an accountant?
Would you call them rich? Living like kings?
Or would you likely say something like “they have a nice life but certainly aren’t rich”?
The numbers in the OP all scream upper middle class, which “comfort” living seems to be a perfect tie in

It's kind of a worthless measure. Obviously two professionals who can make 100k each and work from semi-rural Alabama will have a nice lifestyle with 200k on a purely economic level. But their kids will be going to school in a rural Alabama county, there probably aren't endless good housing options, etc.
Meanwhile if you take 200k and 2 kids to a semi-nice part of Birmingham, you're managing but likely not as comfortably as two professionals around a non-major city would like (and not as comfortably as they'd be doing 5-10 years ago).
