Just going to add that I find it funny that this question was posed, and I discovered it via this forum’s RSS feed, and the post is posted on a forum. Both of which are technologies that have been regarded as “dead” 😅. Oh, and many of us in this forum will receive a this response in their email inbox. Also been touted as dead for a while now.
I’m starting to believe tech doesn’t die, it just waits to become relevant again.
To answer your question directly though, nope. Genesis is owned and maintained by Studiopress, who just updated at least one Genesis repository on GitHub in the last 9 months. I actually just took http://www.casualweirdness.life off of a Genesis theme last year, and that site was built in 2021.
To me, Genesis is a paradigm for building a site. It may not be the best tool in most cases these days, but there’s absolutely a place for it in the modern WordPress ecosystem.
