I believe they were bought by someone and eventually implemented some questionable practices. I don't remember the exact details, maybe someone else does.

I remember reading an update which said that the company went back on most (or all?) the negative changes and it's ok to use again.

I didn't confirm it myself, but that's part of why the alternatives aren't seeing as much development now

It was, the company that bought out Audacity added a bunch of telemetry to it
