There's no way to prove why people talk less on their mics than they use to, but for me, it most certainly had to do with how mean-spirited the players are. When voice chat became a thing, I thought it was going to amazing. Then I tried it and within seconds, someone was calling me a homophobic slur and telling me to leave their room simply because I joined. After that, the mic died a quick death.
I play games to relax and have fun. And arguing with random strangers about something as frivolous as which imaginary gun I am using or how I'm shooting said gun is not my idea of relaxation or fun.
