So why are they dying?

I think it's the same issue the software industry went through in 1980s and 90s. Most individuals don't really need all that many apps in thier lives. Especially productivity apps, which always seem like a good idea until people get bored with them.

A lot of people were satisfied with just AOL and some games. Now a lot of people are satisfied with Facebook and some games. Same thing, better graphics.

Good point Scot! People are getting wiser when choosing the right Apps. They only use what is necessary for them.
Productivity Apps is what they normally install among their other favorites.
