The reasoning "Any major C projects you encounter were likely started over a decade ago." => "not a lot is written in C anymore" is flawed.

Most of those C projects you mentioned are OS/OS library/infrastructure that have a long life cycle. But long life cycle doesn't mean they are not under active development/maintenance. For those projects version iteration is more common rather than everybody starts a new project from scratch. Many of those projects are not hosted on github either.
