Of course protoss will have the best retention - their matchups haven't suffered any significant balance changes in a while.
The win-rates remain even and any participation changes are simple results of more protoss players making it in place of falling terrans or in case of WCS due to Kespa participation.
And no - the situation is nowhere close to the TvT days.
3/8 finalists is certainly not domination.
It may be a case of a major no-preparation-time tournament being held in Korea with little known Kespa players but it's far to early to speak of distribution imbalance.

But what you fail to consider is seasons are twices as long now. Let's say Terrans dominated from ST to Nov (6 months although July wasn't great for them) while Protoss has been on top from S1 - WCS (8 months). So I would say they are pretty even.
