If you were talking about a single transistor, yes you are right.
But these pills are always used as a push-pull pair, so the inertia of the matching transformers fill in the gaps where both pills are off. But to maintain inertia needs at least a minimum RF input drive, which is why class C sucks at SSB.

A full cycle of 27MHz is only 37 nanoseconds, so the gap that needs to be covered by inertia is tiny amount of time.
