It is my impression that the percentage of draws already has grown thru the
years. If you look at the detailed results of the Cadaqués tornament for
example,

http://www.computerschach.de/tourn/

there are very many drawn games. Maybe in this tournament the bandwidth of
strength was smaller than on ICC. It seems to me that in the early days of
computer chess, the draws were less. But I didn't make an exact data comparison,
it's just an impression. The SSDF might be able to verify if this is true.
