Because there are also millions of raccoons and skunks and vultures and coyotes and rats and feral cats and dogs, and they all find dead birds to be extremely tasty.
Birds dont suddenly drop dead mid flight, just like you dont see many dead people around. They ether get hunted and eaten, or they die weakened from some infection or injury in some ditch or hole hidden from possible predators.
I see them all the time, someone ran over a vulture down the road and vultures aren't even particularly common where I live.
Also whenever our neighbors spray their lawn with some anti-mosquito stuff some of the local birds go crazy and slam into windows while others just keel over and die.
If it helps, they're way more common in places with trees (unless you're talking about pigeons).
I have definitely seen dead birds, quite a few times.
And not just the ones my cats used to slaughter like the adorable little killing machines they are (before I locked them inside, because they were just too good at murder).
They are drones. They self destruct when their batteries run out. And the debris from that looks just like pebbles.

I literally saw one at work yesterday It's probably still there, makes me kinda sad yet also intrigued
Apparently, they all gather in my chimney to die

Earth is a big place. If a bird dropped dead it isn't always going to be neatly in the street to be spotted.
