It really depends on how much heat is actually making it to the alcohol, which relies on a lot of factors but you're right fresh short cooking applications most of the alcoholic usually remains.

That's really interesting! however I'm skeptical of the information in the table in that article. It doesn't describe testing methodology or list any studies where these results were recorded.
That said, I understand that not all the alcohol will cook off and stay out. Some will re-condense and re-enter whatever you're cooking, and any covering or absorbant layers will retain some of the alcohol that has evaporated.
Edit: my bad, the article does mention a source. However the methodology isn't fully described and the source doesn't align with the claims made in the article.
I did cross check some articles on Google scholar that seemed to line up with the results but I only had 15 minutes so take that for what you will
