I haven't got recent figures because EKs are so far behind they don't tend to get included in analyses, but here's some discussion:
Now you're proving my point. You're saying "If people don't like magic being dominant and want to play a strong non-magical class, they should pick magic!". It's just totally silly.
From our experience, the eldritch kinght was in no way underpowered compared to the battlemaster. At least before we changed our rest rules to make short rests happen more frequently.
I do agree however that chosing a wizardy subclass is no solution. Instead look at the rune knight to have a supernatural fighter that does not use spells and is very powerful.
For a seemingly mundane fighter there is no great option I fear. All attampts beside battlwmaster just look inferior to battlemaster...
