I wonder if it's because folks who were feeling sick got tested for Covid first, and upon a negative Covid result, assumed (likely correctly) that it was just flu and didn't get a flu test

Did you reply to the wrong person? Your reply has nothing to do with what I said. I was referring the pre-covid times, the first graph shown shows that Flu went to near 0 in the summer every year, even before covid.

I think you're on the right track, likely our optics into the flu has disappeared. Not the flu itself.

in new zealand at least the disappearance of flu is genuine, as hospitals routinely checks and it just never showed up
