As a former data scientist and deep learning practitioner, I believe the main reason for the field decline isn't its commoditaztion but the fact that it just didn't deliver its promises for "AI".

Re:What's so special about vector embeddings

One of the most famous word embedding methods, Word2Vec, actually approximates word co-occurrence PMI matrix through matrix decomposition. Check out Omer Levy and Yoav Goldberg's work.
In that case given enough dimensions it could approximate any matrix well - i.e. linearity shouldn't be a limiting factor.
Correlation (vs causation) and linearity are orthogonal concepts.

tl;dr: Pre-computed ElasticSearch term results are put on CDN and are fetched individually on demand - without requiring an online search engine or loading all text into client memory. There's a demo for searching Wikibooks' cookbook (4K documents) in the linked page
