I'd guess it's primarily not so much an issue of people actively
/moving/ from usenet to web-based forums, but rather /new/ folks never
moving to usenet in the first place (heck, who of the newest generation
of internet users /knows/ about usenet anyway?), and nobody replenishing
the user base of usenet. So it's "Fading away".

Exactly. But for them it doesn't suck, because they don't know better.
There's also some benefit to it, too: You don't need different
/software/ to access it. All you need is your web browser.
