Maybe the serial killers of today are way smarter than those of yesteryear and are much better at not getting caught. Maybe even more serial killers than ever but just adept at not getting caught.
I saw somewhere that they found nine bodies while looking for Gabby Petito. Think about looking for a dead body, and finding nine other dead bodies first. I'm not sure the police are even looking.
1. DNA evidence: easier to catch someone the first time they kill.
2. Cameras are EVERYWHERE, see above
3. Large database of crimes, finger prints, evidence

5. Cell phone pinging off of different towers.. easy to trace and put someone in the location.

Do you have any evidence to back your claim that there are less serial killers now than say in the 80s?
They only become well-known when they're caught and brought to trial, so the 'recent' ones are actually from like a decade back. From the top of my head I can name Mikhail Popkov who killed 80+ women in late 90s - 2000s, that's quite a bloody streak.
