Almost no one doesn’t mean no one. There’s been so much growth in the industry in the past 20 years that even if everyone working in 2001 was still working now, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were a small minority compared to the sea of new talent

Depends on where you work, obviously. In my organization (at a FAANG), people in their 40s are probably a (very slim) majority.

I'm also at a FAANG, and work with a lot of people in their 40's

They obviously exist but from a quick and dirty google search it looks like there was roughly 500k-600k software engineers in 2000 and over 4 million today in the US. Even if zero of the ones from 2000 attritioned out they’d be ~13% of the work force and I highly doubt none of them have retired in a 2 decade span
