Less mothers are breastfeeding during the colostrum stage so that is more likely than the birth canal notion... never heard about babies picking up anything from the birth canal besides vd. The link to c sections probably is a result of "planned deliveries" which occur with typically working mothers that want to get back to work asap and don't give enough time to breastfeeding while the colostrum is in her milk. But that is just my guess.

I'm sure you're right about some parents choosing the C-section, but it's not the only reason. c-sections are also incredibly efficient. When my son was born we wanted it naturally. Our primary OB was on vacation for our due date. Labour wasn't that long (speaking from a guy's perspective) about 13 hours. I was speaking with one of the nurses afterwards, she said we were lucky that we had the replacement doctor we did, as any other doctor in that hospital would have had her in the O.R. The c-section allows parents and the hospital to schedule for maximum efficiency. I read later that the hospital had a c-section rate higher than the provincial average.
