Robot has it's peak maybe a couple of years ago. Although my company still uses it extensively there are other Automation frameworks that are proving to be better, like , say Cucumber, Cypress, etc.

But why is Robot Framework being mentioned and getting attention now? It's not like it's something new and doing anything different from the existing frameworks.

Cucumber does not really provide anything RF does not, except for Ruby houses. And Cypress is web automation tool, RF being generic one. One could write Cypress library for RF, but as there already are Selenium and Playwright libraries for RF, I don't think it will happen anytime soon at least.
