RTS just fell out of favour and isn't popular as a genre anymore. StarCraft was the only one that endured, and even that was a niche interest. If the genre had any appeal then someone else would have taken up the mantle (as we saw with MobA's).

Subscription gaming was going to happen regardless.

I miss my RTS topdown style games, I could never get into WCII but like, I agree its a dying genre

Beyond All Reason is building some pretty good momentum. It's more of a TA/Supreme Commander style RTS, so a bit different compared to Warcraft. But it's a modern RTS in active development and growing userbase, which is pretty rare over the past decade.
