It’s far from dead. Take a look at the gnome circle apps as a demonstration of how many good applications are being written for gnome these days.

I believe a large part of this is due to the fact that to use QT you are still stuck with either C++ or Python, whereas there are a ton of gnome apps being written in JS and Rust now.

These are pretty small apps. "Binary" converts numbers between bases. Wonderful.

Meanwhile, more than a few large applications have switched away from GTK to Qt including Wireshark, Openshot, and now Audacity. How many large apps have switched the other way?

... most Qt apps use QML / QtQuick which is based on ES7 ?
