Maybe it’s because “people living near Ottawa” are actually people from Québec (Gatineau),

The majority of people living near Ottawa are from the Ontario side. But, bilingual schools are much more common in Ottawa because of the proximity to Quebec.

Non-metropolitain Québec has 30% of its population bilingual

You can see that that's very low, right?

Much higher than the average 9.5% in ROC.
Also, Ottawa had 36.4% of it's population bilingual in 2021. You can see that that’s very low, right? Especially for the capital of a "bilingual" country.
Meanwhile, Gatineau has 64.6%. If it doesn't make clear that Québécois are more bilingual than anglo canadians, I don't know what will. All you have to do is cross a river and bilingualism doubles.
