From the article:

'Can we agree that without splitting states, this is the best way to divide the USA into four?'

I had to zoom in to see your point, but to break up ONLY Maryland makes ZERO sense. Most likely explanation is that the Reddit user (or the Brit-based Daily Mail) did the map wrong. I would love to see an Illinois WITHOUT Cook County. Even if the penalty was that normal Illinoisans couldn't use Cook County (Shopping, hospitals, restaurants), it would be well worth it.

Of course it was a mistake.

I have a copy of Gone with the Wind translated into French, which I bought years ago in Paris, on the Rive Gauche. A map has Savannah in South Carolina.
