Most likely reason for such fall from grace in update speeds? They lost the savant senior dev (or two) keeping their project together.

I came here to make this exact same comment.

It really seems like they lost the few key people that were holding the whole thing together, either to another company or just to the void due to bad management.

I would love to understand more about this change.

The more I mature as an engineer, the more I see the value of few engaged Individual Contributors that behind the scenes are driving the product and steering management decisions.

Yup, this exactly.

It is often under-appreciated how much an active corporate engagement model is due to 1 or 2 highly motivated employees. Once they leave, engagement drops because it wasn't something being driven from management or PMs.
