I just added my first new content type in awhile and deployed it to all of my (200) or so sites. When I created a new site, all of that site's document libraries got inundated with that content type. It was added to each library AND a view was created based on it. Stunk.

I did some digging and realized that I clicked "Push to Hub Sites." Some further inspection yielded this URL which says this:

[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/syntex/push-content-type-to-hub][1]

After the settings are updated, the content type with these settings will be available in any newly associated site with the hub in a few minutes. The default library view will be changed to one of these automatically created views. If there are multiple content types pushed to the same library, then the latest one (based on the order of the action of pushing those content types to the hub this library belongs to) is what will be set as the default view. Then, any new list or library created will have the content type automatically added to it within a few minutes of creation. A pushed content type will be added to a document library only if it derives directly or indirectly from the Document content type, and a content type will be added to a list only if it does not derive from the Document content type directly or indirectly.

Is this the problem or is there something else I'm missing?

It is normal for Push to Hub Sites. Just as the article explains, the content type will be added everywhere.

If you want to just Publish the content type and make available for the sites, use Publish option:
