Windshield aerodynamic have also improved a lot over the years.

I used to have an 1988 Volvo 240 that was a magnet for bugs just a few years ago.

Went to south Florida about three weeks ago... my windshield was almost completely covered in dead lovebugs.

You used to be able to see them in the headlights as you were driving, now you don't. Love bugs have a breeding season in Florida, that's not a normal volume of love bugs and is only one very different data point that doesn't speak the the macro trend of bugs disappearing globally.
