MOBAs are far from the first genre of video game that are easier to learn than RTS, so I’m not sure you’ve explained why MOBAs specifically have put competitive pressure on RTS. Is it just because MOBAs look very superficially like RTS games, with a top-down view of fighting units?

MOBAs were invented as RTS mods. For example, DOTA 2 is the successor to a Warcraft 3 mod.
