The last pokemon mystery dungeon was 2020 admittedly I haven't played it and don't know if there's been a major deviation from the originals but there's plenty still being made.

Then you've got games like NetHack which are old as fuck but still getting updates.

It's not a popular genre but there's no shortage given how long these titles last.

Mystery Dungeon is its own genre.

And I'm not saying that there are no roguelikes that aren't still being updated and the like. Heck, I already brought up Stone Soup: a game that also continues to receive updates as well. Similarly pointing out that they continue to get love doesn't change what I said, that no one is making new ones. The existence of something from decades ago doesn't change that it's basically a dead genre, that nothing is made for it anymore. If you want to actually try and make an argument to the contrary at least bring up that the Elona dev is going to come out with a new game, don't point out that the corpse of the genre is kept moving by a bunch of wires from back in the 80/90's.
