My sense is the hype just died down. There are genuine cases where message queues are the correct solution. But since most of the developers are clueless they just jump on the latest trend and write blog posts and make Youtube videos.

This effect has also happened with microservices/monaliths, lambda/serverless, agile/scrum(still no concrete definition on these). Even cloud as a whole, there are so many articles of how companies managed to cut cloud cost to a fraction just by going bare metal.
