Its all about the developers, times have changed since 20 years ago.
20 years ago the end users were king, developers added what we wanted, maintained multiple branches for years no problem.
Now days they only want to develop in newer easier to use languages hence the rarity of plain C and win32 slowly fading away, plus of course new ideas vs what the older generation of developers had, but to me the big one is the mindset, its now developers who are king not the end users. They make what they want, how they want it, and we consume what is given.
