jQuery had its glory days. Present day jQuery is legacy as it usually happens with all programming technologies in due time.

In my opinion, it's due to the shining object syndrome, where frameworks such as react, vue, angular...and all the others are the in thing ATM. However, I think it's important to have an understanding of jquery as it can help one understand and appreciate the basics powering such frameworks as well as a better understanding of javascript.
