Influenza is a much less robust virus and is droplet spread. Covid is likely or flirted with aerosol spread and much more robust in terms of surviving exposure.

The mitigation for Covid are for an aersolized transmission. So the mitigation factors of social distancing and masks while likely did little for aerosol transfer of the virus work very well for droplets and influenza. Ergo there is much less influenza.

You don't go from millions of flu cases to hundreds in one year given your explanation.
