Is this why JRPG's are a dying breed?

I don't think that you can meaningfully qualify 16-bit JRPGs having bad gameplay.

They didn't really have good gameplay.  If you look at something like FFVI, it had awful gameplay and Chrono Trigger wasn't even anything all that good.  It was passable but it wasn't anywhere as good as many of the other actual good SNES games.

I said "qualify", which means you would need to explain why they had bad gameplay.
