That's not true, it gained ground for a long time after that. "Free" as in freedom software, by Stallman's definition, probably peaked in the early 2000s.

And I would say that the losses mostly started happening when the FSF stopped producing software that people wanted to use. They effectively ignored the entire internet revolution.

Not even close. We have Linux-libre backed distros today.

I don't think the number of distros endorsed by the FSF is a great metric for the influence of the FSF and free software on users and developers.
