Guess the answer lies in this sentence from the article:
"Specifically, the states’ contributions to America, like inventions, food and drink, “somewhat productive famous people,” and unique physical beauty, among other things."
All those people who made Michigan great as per the above, have retired and moved to Florida.

Miami Herald article quotes the survey,
Where did they get that from? According to the Wikipedia article on the topic, whichever measure used, Alaska is first and Florida second in terms of length of coastline...
By contrast, Michigan, Thrillist rhapsodizes, “has more coastline than any state other than Alaska?”

Of course, you have to use different scales to bias the measurements between states.

Especially if you bring supermarkets into it.
"Alaska has salmon in the rivers that you can catch. But Florida has Publix, which has salmon in the freezer." Moral; Alaska & Florida are equal, on the salmon front.

So the shorter the "yardstick" you use to measure the coast, the longer the coast will be, but the effect of the shorter yardstick is much more significant when the coastline is jagged - hence Maine's 3,500 miles of coastline.
