I would not claim that it accounts for all flu avoidance, but some nontrivial portion of missing flu deaths.
Additionally I would not be surprised if flu deaths remained lower for several years since C19 appeared to be more severe than flu in vulnerable populations. Future flu deaths were likely preempted by C19.
Paralleling the term herd immunity, this would be called culling the herd.
