I have v4 which is no doubt using Rosetta so for $13.00 I bought it.
That “solo-dev” comment above is worth sitting with. Quiet forums and slow release cadence are often just what running a small, sustainable software business actually looks like, not a sign of abandonment. I run a small subscription Mac app myself, and the apps I trust most as a user are usually the ones with the least noise around them, not the most.

It depends on your user portrait.
Some apps (e.g. Apple Notes, MS Word, some 5MB single-purpose utility app) have a significant active user base but very few of them go on to write about their experience on a forum. Most of them are probably not even aware such forums exist.
Some apps (e.g. Obsidian, the launchers and arguably Hazel) draw users who are inclined to learn about others’ workflows and share their own. They might even list their “active community” as a feature. When those forums go quiet, it makes sense to assume the app is stagnating, if not dying.
