Well, an article about how everything is fine and while it's not exploding in popularity it's doing well won't generate much interest.
The article plays to both nostalgia and a bit of fear mongering. What else is new? It's actually ends on a very positive note.
As far as D&D never hitting the peak numbers it once had, get over it. The same way no TV sitcom will ever hit the numbers of the "golden age" of broadcast TV, D&D simply has more competition. Not only other P&P games, but older editions as well. Not to mention computer/console/phone games.
