The premise is true, but the conclusion is not necessarily true. The crap store and the iOSication of the Mac have really hurt the Mac software market.

I get all kinds of great new Mac apps from new devs, so not sure what you mean. Some examples I've personally use and bought in the past year or so: Darkroom, CleanShotX, Bear, Amadine, Wipr, Keka.
If we can go a few years back there's tons of other stuff that's still going strong too with new versions regularly and everything...
A lot of people?
There are more Mac users (and thus app buyers) today than ever were, several times more than in the 80s and 90s.
If people don't do it it's because they can make a quicker buck elsewhere (e.g. web SaaS and such), not because it's a worse market in absolute terms.
It sure beats being an indie game dev, that's for sure...
