I think the situation is similar to c++ where too many features have been added over time.
While with c++ there is a body of compiled recommendations on what not to use and how to write c++, for scala that doesn't really exist.
On the flip side, Scala can be a very pleasant stack to work with if you have right people on the team.

Principle of least power is what you need.
Not everything is a science paper.
Sure, some companies are moving to other languages, that might be growing quicker than Scala ever was. But this isn't zero-sum.
