So many systems on autopilot... and then they just stop...
I don't, and never have understood the "thrill" of setting up a BBS, doing anything to it, never logging into it, never checking on it, bu it run with nothing on it.
I think a lot of sysops do put time to customize it, but sometimes I
think some sysops get busy and their BBS becomes a low priority for them for a while but they still want to keep running it. They might get back to it at some point when they have more free time.

I can see why they loose interest, especially if they dont
want to chat via an old text interface D> that may or may
not get a response...
All the BBS information out there show's that it's more of
a txt based system, and not a GUI that a user can point a
mouse at and click a button.
There is alo the issue that some people think that FB/
Websites are the "Internet" and don't do anything else.

Which means.. that more people are inclined to tap and swipe as apposed
to use an actual keyboard?

Nah.. people are well aware of the various messenger apps: WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, Signal, Sypes, Session, Simplex, Matrix ..to name
a few. And among them both mobile and desktop versions are available.
