If you go back pre-Covid, there not many of those 'in service but parked' 757s. 757 spares support has been good due to the remaining popularity of the 757 (total production was a bit over 1,000 aircraft).
That being said, I suspect many of those 'in service but parked' aircraft will not return to service - replaced by new aircraft with better fuel burn which will be abundant...
