The reason you haven't seen that many is because contrary to OP's assertion, there actually aren't that many found footage films. According to IMDB, in 2021 there were 1,388 horror movies released and of those only three were found footage films. If you consider every horror movie that's ever been released, or better yet every film that's ever been released, you're talking about a film style that makes up a fraction of a fraction of a percent.

I definitely got this impression. I certainly haven't seen any previews for found footage style films in main stream movies lately. I assumed OP is probably watching more independent style films, but I have no idea.

Even from one of the database linked to by OP, the found footage films only make up like 1% of the total horror movies and 2% of the horror movies released in 2022. I don't care if they like them or dislike them, but they're just wrong about how many are being released.
