Given that so few people put so few miles on their helmets last season, was there ever a thought of extending the Snell 2010 validity through to the end of 2021?

I always thought expiration dates were based on materials getting brittle, breaking down, etc. So, based on that, I wouldn’t expect dates to change.
IIRC, SCCA has always allowed helmets to be valid for 11 years after their Snell date to allow new helmets dated 10 years later to be available. So what you ask is almost certainly already true. See below:
GCR 9.3.19. DRIVER’S SAFETY EQUIPMENT
"Crash helmets with SA2010/SAH2010 certification will remain valid until December 31, 2021."
