Yeah, I also think the most probable cause for it is the genre getting tapped out. Thanks for your point about the actual rate of production btw, added it in my explanation comment.

That's funny, considering how often Sci-fi is the genre that breaks through with revolutionary ideas about previously unimagined futures.
It'll come back once enough people start having newer ideas of the future, it's hard to do sci-fi when technology keeps catching up (Heck, look at drones and smart phones... How many years back do you have to go for those to be purely sci-fi? ~25, if I had to guess.)
But given how other mediums have been doing sci-fi, Like the Expanse series, I think it's only a matter of time for some new ideas to appear in anime.
