That's 'cause there are a lot us out there who are fed up with the stale, redundant, and frankly boring state of adventure games today. And I had written that article 5 years ago, ending it on an upbeat note. And today - well, nothing's changed really. It's not dead, but its current state, I argue, renders it zombie-like. A walking dead.

Anyway, this thread topic, too, has been discussed many times in the past. Seems the same concerns crop up over and over.

BTW, furthering the topic, I wonder how certain games would be like if they were re-made in a different perspective. Say, Gabriel Knight 3 in first person or strictly over-the-shoulder direct control 3rd person (like Splinter Cell: Conviction)?
