OP didn't back up their assertion with data. They don't see kids; I do see kids. It's all anecdotal.

Quick searching shows a CDC survey from 2017 estimating that a little over 15% of American kids walk to school. More recent data would require more time to find than I have right now, but even if it's as low as 1 in 10 now, that's still not nothing.
