Hmm what decline? The only thing that comes to mind is the removal of force-touch but that's not a multi-touch gesture.

When multi-touch first appeared it was touted as a Holy Grail of UIs.

The only multi-touch gesture that is in widespread usage across all mobile platforms is pinch to zoom. The rest of the multi-touch gestures are probably used 100 times less (maybe less, I can't even remember the last time I used 2+ fingers to do something on my Android devices, except for pinch to zoom).
