To be fair, they also said all the Characters from ATLA were dead in LOK. Yet now we find out Zuko and Katara are alive. They probably did that to prevent speculation, or to keep it a surprise (at least until certain leaks). Now it is very possible that Aang being dubbed the last Airbender could eventually be proven untrue. Air benders might have escaped that were previously unknown and had families. Or, a person or two with air nomad in part of their blood (whether or not they knew it) might eventually produce an airbender down the line. It could also turn out that a group of airbenders separated from the Nomads a long time ago, but remained isolated. So like the new speciers of sky bison Aang discovered, they were previously unknown. Yadda, yadda, yadda. None of this likely has to do with Amon's background, but there are a lot of ways more airbenders could be "discovered."

The point is that just because Bryke told us doesn't necesarrily mean it is absolute and will always be absolute. It is assumed (and justly so) that just because they say so it is true, but in no way guarenteed as certain past instances have shown us. Now will it happen? Probably not. Or at the very least, probably not until and unless they decide they need more airbenders and faster. But there are many ways it could happen if Bryke wanted to introduce more airbenders.
