Is it just me or does no one talk about Quake anymore?

It all started after war attacker bans
Plus the introduction of 7.4
No one even brings her up as an option for boss fights

In wars, she is banned 95% of the time.
In content you dont want to quake 400k+ hp.
As well as of course growing health pools, and lack of 6* availability.
She bypasses a lot of nodes, she can counter a lot, but the higher the health pool, the more likely one is to slip up, and of course, the thumbs are going to hurt a bit.
Take starlord for example once he was on top in his class for his high stacking damage, but nowadays we have Stark Spidey and Ægon which just do his job better. There times at top are gone but it doesn't mean they aren't good or aren't viable they just aren't competing with today's top
We dont talk about Quake, but
I was in act 6
They were in act 6..
and i was preparing with 10 team revives
Enough to pass on just fine..
Quake comes in with a mischievous grin
Thunder..
There was true strike in every fight
Causing me to die...
Quake sadly couldn't evade
Why did I choose her..
And doing so I lost again
Using a revive..
Now I had to spend units
Now I was a hundred short and had to rebegin..
We don't talk about Quake no no no no no
We don't talk about Quake
Last time she was used was the grandmasters gauntlet I think, which was probably one of the most difficult challenges ever created in game, unless she can save you 3k to 6k units most people would rather revive once or twice then quake for 15-20mins
And act 7 isn't difficult enough to resort to quaking high healthpools.
We do the same song and dance of people not talking about quake and then if content like grandmaster gauntlet drops and she drastically reduces unit cost we go back to talking about her.
I wouldn't recommend quaking bosses in act 7 when they're plenty options that get it done fast/easy but I'd easily recommend her for difficult/unit heavy content where she makes a difference
Also, since the input bugs started last summer, I found myself using her less and less. I don't know if that has contributed to her alleged fall from the meta, but it certainly has been a factor (among others) for me using her much less frequently.
Gauntlet was majority 650k+ healthpools and there are a lot of people who quaked almost the entirety of it.
The real reason is there's no content released recently where you'd want to quake.
What's the point in using her in act 7 where content is designed to be more accessible?
Funny thing about saying healthpools are too high is if fight me coward wasn't a thing in abyss I guarantee there'd be people destroying their thumbs quaking it.
And when gauntlet inevitably returns quake would still be the #1 recommendation for chapter 1 despite it having higher hp than act 7
I'm still planning to use her in 7.4 exploration for lanes and bosses.
I'm just built different
