Oracle has mostly disbanded the team that was working on it, leaving only one or two staff to manage community contributions.

There are however, a couple of small companies, and some individuals using it, and providing contributions.

Javafx is very much alive at: https://openjfx.io/

Gluon also provides builds for LTS and latest here: https://gluonhq.com/products/javafx/

Sometimes a setup like that is the best setup possible, no ambitious team trying to make their mark by replacing something that doesn't require replacing or that they can't replace well enough. I doubt that JavaFX would have more impact if they put a team of dozens on it (or, shudder, hundreds) but they would surely make life harder for those who still build on FX. A larger team might have already declared javaFX dead entirely, urging everyone to port to some exciting new javaFY and losing many of the remaining users in the process, without attracting any new ones. Arguably Swing to FX was already a bit like that.

As far as I know Gluon has taken over the development of JavaFX.
