The death of ROMS
I was wondering there seem to be less roms around than the early days. I have a nexus 5x with 6.0.1 I don't feel the need to use a ROM I did with my sony when they stopped updating it but now stock android is pretty good.
I think that people aren't going through the hassle of installing a ROM anymore as good as some are.
There will always be people that like to tinkerers of course.

Pure android on the nexus range is good and updated regular, a lot of the Chinese phones these days are good at first but when the updates stop thats when the roms play their part.

Re: The death of ROMS
I think ROMs have a place as I run ROMs on 3 of my 4 android devices and all are ROMs that bring a version of an OS that is not officially supported by the manufacturer.
Only my moto x is not rooted and got a custom ROM as vanilla Android is sweet.

Re: The death of ROMS
Answered your own question ... android as supplied is much better now, and devices are a little less RAM constrained than they used to be
(until software catches us to gobble all the ram again...)

Re: The death of ROMS
While stock android is >>>>>> any carrier-meddled bloatware(looking at you Samsung) - I could still never stay completely stock, Root & Xposed provide far too many goodies to give up.
