Peak of hype/excitement - many things have their technical peak (most units sold/most units in the field) after the real "popularity peak".
CD-ROM drives first started not being put in Mac laptops in 2008, so the peak "units sold" would have been somewhere in the early 2000s. But by then Internet speeds were fast enough and other methods existed, so they were waning in popularity/excitement.
