The 13cm band has lost more than half its bandwidth, cutting the band in two. 9cm is gone. I'm sure it would be worse without ARRL though.

9cm is absolutely not gone. You must be misinformed. FCC gave up on killing it after massive opposition.

Hm? I thought the FCC's position now was that it could continue to be used on a secondary basis until the FCC auctioned it off. The to 50MHz have been auctioned off and are now out of amateur use.

50 MHz on a 200-500 MHz band is hardly “gone”.

That’s worse than I recalled. Disappointing.
