Really?
Just some examples of classic point&click adventures which were developed and released in recent years:

European point&click adventure games are still strongly influenced by LucasArts and Sierra today. Telltale's US adventure games are completely infuenced by LucasArts (by default). One of PC gaming's oldest genre hasn't changed a lot during the past twenty years - which is good and bad at the same time - but it definitely hasn't gone away for the most part. Western p&c games are still being developed, but the genre seems to be extremely unpopular today, especially in NA.
