Declaring a technology-in-transition dead is truly a take.

It's like declaring SSL/TLS dead in 2012 because some websites were not using it. (Yes, I remember the dark times when even authentication data was transmitted over plain text.)

People still mine, ship and burn coal for energy.

Turns out its hard to get people to change their own habits to help other people.

My first job out of college passed the authentication over SSL/TLS, but the page that *contained* the login form? That was sent in the clear.... Truly dark days.
